Abstract
ABSTRACT The species belonging to the family Mactridae living in South African waters are revised. After a bibliographical research, almost forty nominal species were found related to this area. The type material of all taxa was requested, examined and illustrated whenever possible. Additional comparative specimens from Natal Museum were studied. Details of type localities, repositories, and updated distribution were provided. This work revealed the presence of nine species belonging to the family Mactridae living in South African waters: Mactra aequisulcata G. B. Sowerby III, 1894, Mactra lilacea Lamarck, 1818, Simomactra capensis (G. B. Sowerby III, 1892), Scissodesma spengleri (Linnaeus, 1767), Standella ovalina (Lamarck, 1818), Lutraria (Lutraria) capensis Reeve, 1854, Lutraria (Lutraria) steynlussii Huber, 2010, Lutraria (Psammophila) inhacaensis Boshoff, 1965, and Eastonia solanderi (Gray, 1837). However, their generic placement in some cases must be confirmed. Genetic data will clarify if two new generic names for Mactra aequisulcata and Simomactra capensis, respectively, are required.
期刊介绍：
Malacologia publishes papers on all groups of the Mollusca. Malacologia specializes in publishing long papers and monographic treatments. Complete data are especially appreciated. Papers must be of interest to an international readership. Papers in systematics, ecology, population ecology, genetics, molecular genetics, evolution and phylogenetic treatments are especially welcomed. Also welcomed are letters to the editor involving papers published or issues of import to science of the day.
