The family Donacidae (Bivalvia: Tellinoidea) in Thai waters
The species belonging to the family Donacidae living in Thailand waters are herein revised. After an exhaustive bibliographical search, 29 nominal species were found from this area. Materials from several institutions and specimens collected during fieldwork in Phuket and the Gulf of Thailand were studied. All the type materials were illustrated and redescribed. Details of the type localities, repositories, habitats and biogeographical distribution are discussed. In addition, some collected specimens and the type materials of the valid species and synonyms are illustrated. Currently, eight valid species are confirmed as living in Thailand waters: Donax (Deltachion) spinosus Gmelin, 1791, Donax (Deltachion) semigranosus (Dunker, 1877), Donax (Dentilatona) incarnatus Gmelin, 1791, Donax (Hecuba) scortum (Linnaeus, 1758), Donax (Latona) cuneatus Linnaeus, 1758, Donax (Latona) faba Gmelin, 1791, Donax (Latona) solidus Spengler, 1798 and Donax (Paraserrula) introradiatus Reeve, 1855. The presence of Donax (Deltachion) semisulcatus Hanley, 1843, Donax brazieri Smith, 1892, Donax (Tentidonax) veruinus Hedely, 1913 and Donax victoris Fischer-Piette, 1942 in Thailand waters remains uncertain. These species have been reported in the study area in the literature, but they were not sampled during this study.Fil: Signorelli, Javier Hernan.
