*1967 Hypanis semipellucida Logvinenko and Starobogatov : 232 –233.

1973 Hypanis semipellucida Logvinenko and Starobogatov, 1967 – Grossu: 144, fig. 27.

2013 Adacna (Monodacna) semipellucida Logvinenko and Starobogatov, 1967 – Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al.: 384, fig. 161, photo 55.

Dimensions – max. L 23 mm, H 16 mm.

Characterization – This species is relatively thin-walled and low, often has an elliptical outline in adult stages with low, broad and smooth ribs and narrow interspaces. The ribs and interspaces are well visible on the shell’s interior. The most distinct character is the cardinal tooth that is a very narrow but well delimited knob that is located well towards the base of the hinge platform.

Ecology – Monodacna semipellucida lives in the Middle Caspian Sea ( Bogutskaya et al., 2013; Logvinenko and Starobogatov, 1969; Wesselingh et al., 2019), down to 40 m water depth and minimum salinities of 5–8 psu ( Bogutskaya et al., 2013; Logvinenko and Starobogatov, 1969).
