Sinanodonta cf. woodiana ( Lea, 1834)

Symphynota woodiana Lea (1834) : 42.

Type locality: Canton [Guangzhou], China.

Comments: The tropical invasive lineage of Sinanodonta may actually be S. woodiana , which had been described from the Pearl River, Guangzhou ( Table 1). This assumption agrees with the opinion of Dudgeon and Morton (1983) that the true Sinanodonta woodiana inhabits Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. However, the name Sinanodonta woodiana may also be a senior synonym of S. jourdyi ( Morlet, 1886) , which has been found in a tributary of the Pearl River in northern Vietnam ( Do et al. 2018). This taxonomic puzzle could be solved in a future on the basis of molecular sequences of Sinanodonta spp. from Taiwan and the downstream of Pearl River near Guangzhou.

*Several endemic taxa from Japan ( Sano et al. 2017) were not included to this list. **Here, we provide only a single reference sequence for each putative species. The full list of available sequences for each species-level clade is presented in our earlier works ( Bolotov et al. 2016; Vikhrev et al. 2017; Bespalaya et al. 2018). ***Codes of these lineages from China are given in accordance with Bolotov et al. (2016). The sampling localities of both lineages are not specified in GenBank. n/a = not available.
