description
(Fig. 9 C)
description
Description: The shell is small (mean shell length ± SD 3.15 ± 0.03 mm), round-oval in shape (Fig. 9 C). The beaks are rounded and prominent, and somewhat offset to the posterior edge of the valves (Fig. 9 C). The cardinal tooth of the right valve is thickened on the posterior end. The inner cardinal tooth of the left valve is straight. The outer cardinal tooth of the left valve is thickened, shorter than inner cardinal tooth (Fig. 10 C).
discussion
Comments: The 16 S and 28 S rRNA sequences of this species have no analogues in GenBank and are more closely related to the E. parvula group (Fig. 2). Previously, several species described from the basin of the Indigirka and Kolyma rivers and also from the Kamchatka Peninsula were assigned to the genus Hiberneuglesa Starobogatov in Dolgin, 1983 (Korniushin 1996, Vinarski and Kantor 2016) with the exception of Euglesa subconventa (Starobogatov & Streletzakaja, 1967), Pisidium indigircence Starobogatov & Streletzkaja, 1967, and Euglesa cor (Starobogatov & Streletzkaja, 1967). Currently, this group is treated as the species E. parvula (Graf and Cummings 2023; MolluscaBase 2023) with the junior synonyms: Euglesa anjuica Starobogatov & Korniushin, 1989, Euglesa kolhymensis (Starobogatov & Streletzkaja, 1967), Euglesa kuiperi (Starobogatov & Streletzkaja, 1967), Euglesa lindholmi (Starobogatov & Streletzkaja, 1967), and several species from other regions. Euglesa cor is currently considered as a junior synonym of Euglesa obtusalis (Lamarck, 1818) (Graf and Cummings 2023; MolluscaBase 2023). These species are still known only from their type specimens (represented by dried shells). We have studied the type specimens and the original descriptions of all of these species (Supporting Information, Fig. S 1 K, N – Q). According to morphological features of these type series, and morphological and molecular-genetic analysis of the examined material (see above), we believe that the listed nominal species should be treated as E. lindholmi. The taxonomic status of E. anjuica, E. cor, E. kolhymensis, E. kuiperi, E. subconventa, and Pisidium indigircence needs to be clarified. Distribution: Siberia.
