27063478D643543C8F9B374ABF22786D.taxon	description	Description. Shell small-sized, elongated-globular, inflated, thick, solid. Anterior extremely short, inflated, and round; posterior long and flat. Anterior margin rounded, dorsal margin straightened, and slope downward at an obtuse angle, usually covered in fine upward wrinkles; ventral margin weakly curved. Umbo inflated, under dorsal margin, almost at the very front of the shell, often eroded. Central of shell with two rows of posterior dorsal spines (usually detached with only attachment marks), the anterior row longer and the posterior row shorter. Periostracum yellowish-green with olive-green rays and several thick growth lines. Hinge short and strong. Hinge developed. Left valve with two pseudocardinal teeth, anterior tooth small, triangular-shaped, posterior tooth well-developed, rectangular-shaped; right valve with a single well-developed, pyramidal pseudocardinal tooth. Both valves with two lateral teeth: left valve external weak, internal well-developed; right valve external well-developed, internal weak. Mantle attachment scars on the pallial line obvious. Anterior adductor muscle scars deep, samll; posterior adductor muscle scars shallow, orbicular-shaped. Umbo cavity open, deep. Nacre milky white.	en	Dai, Yu-Ting, Chen, Zhong-Guang, Ouyang, Shan, Huang, Xiao-Chen, Wu, Xiao-Ping (2025): A new tribe, genus, and species of freshwater mussel from the Changjiang River Basin in China (Bivalvia, Unionidae, Unioninae).
