Notes

Attributed to (Gmelin, 1791) by Huber (2010: 419) but the name is generally credited to (Gray, 1825); the latter (first published in the binomen Venus papyracea) is the type species of Clementia, and it is not so sure that it is a synonym of Mactra papyracea Gmelin, 1791, based on a figure of Chemnitz (1782).
