Linne’s “Venus virginea” is a collective species which includes the European 
Tapes rhomboides, Penn., and the East Indian T. hiantinus, Lam. The limits and the 
variability in form of the latter species have not yet been sufficiently investigated, 
and in the future it will doubtless be proved that it includes still more forms than 
the Lamarckian species mentioned above. The specimens from the Gulf of Siam 
agree most closely with the T. hiantinus-tristis forms.
