Parvamussium siebenrocki: Bosch, Dance, Moolenbeek & Oliver 1995: 232 View in CoL , fig. 1011; Dijkstra & Knudsen 1998: 46, pl. 1, figs 1–4; Dijkstra & Janssen 2013: 194, figs 23–25, 36–37, 43–45.

Description: Shell up to 9.1 mm in height, fragile, subcircular, inequivalve, nearly equilateral, right valve slightly more convex than left valve, auricles unequal, umbonal angle 110°, colour of left valve creamy with milky-white, orange or brown dots, right valve more uniformly whitish. Prodissoconch 200 µm long. Left valve sculptured with irregularly spaced and developed radial riblets and weak commarginal lamellae (most specimens), also almost smooth, lacking commarginal and most of radial sculpture in central disc area and rudimentary laterally (some specimens). Preradial stage only with fine commarginal lamellae. Anterior auricle with fine commarginal lamellae, posterior same sculpture, but more delicate. Right valve with regularly spaced commarginal lamellae. Anterior auricle with some small radial riblets near the byssal fasciole, and commarginal lamellae, prominent near dorsal margin. Posterior auricle only sculptured with commarginal lamellae. Internal ribs 7–10 (usually 9–10), sometimes with a few rudimentary interstitial riblets.

Distribution and habitat: Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea, Persian Gulf, southwards to eastern South Africa. Living upper bathyally on soft substrata (mixture sediments of mud and sand). Present specimens live at - 145–261 m (minimum depth range).

Remarks: Parvamussium cristatellum (Dautzenberg & Bavay, 1912) recorded from the northern Indian Ocean, western, southwestern, and southern Pacific (Dijkstra & Maestrati 2012: 392) is morphologically very close to the present species. Parvamussium cristatellum differs somewhat in having a more prominent radial sculpture on the left valve, but other characters are similar.
