Abstract: |
Recently, we found a new species belonging to Genus Mouterosatus, Family Mesodesmatidae, Bivalvia; it was collected from the South China Sea, on 14 December, 1959.
The new species has a shell that is rather small, thin, fragile, compressed, equivalve and inequilateral; umbo low, situated at the posterior 2/5 of dorsal margin; without lunule and escutcheon; anterior margin round and posterior margin slightly truncated. The nearly straightly anterior dorsal margin is longer than the posterior dorsal, with a surface ornamented with rather coarsely concentric lines, and the dorsal is usually covered by yellowish periostracum, especially on the margin area.
The hinge has external and amphidetic ligament, and resilium is situated at a very small resilifer behind the cardinal teeth in each valve; the right valve has two cardinal teeth, whilst the left valve has one; the shell interior surface is white, mantle line that is not sinus, the adductor scars indistinct.
The specimen measurements: length 10.2mm, height 7.0mm, breath 3.8mm.
Holotype (M30951) collected from Beibu Wan (Gulf of Tonkin), South China Sea (20°45′N, 109°15′E), 21m deep, 14 Dec., 1959.
This new species resembles M. prima (Locard, 1899), but the latter has a rounded posterior margin. |
