QUADRULA DIVERGENS Benson. 



Unio divergens Bensox, Jl. As. Soc. Beug., XXIX, 185.5, i). 137. ^ 

 Chusau Island, China. 



Subgenus DISCOMYA Simpson, 1900. 



Shell subsolid, round obovate or subrhomboid, lenticular, rather com- 

 pressed, widely, faintly biangulate behind, with scarcely any vestige of a 

 posterior ridge; beaks very low, sculpture not seen; front half of the 

 shell densely covered with fine pustules arranged in curved rows in two 

 directions as if engine chased, over which the eiiidermis is wrinkled. 

 The hinder half is covered with fine, radiating and undulating corru- 

 gations, curved upward posteriorly, which are slightly nodulous and 

 show through on the inside of the shell ; one slightly compressed pseudo- 

 cardinal in the right valve and two in the left; one delicate, curved 



' First called montanus by Heude, which was several times preoccui:)ied in Unio. 



-Gredler makes this a variety of leai, but I believe it is a rather finely sculptured 

 form of monticola. The species varies much in the size of pustules and the degree of 

 its smoothness, and Heude has exalted all these variations to the rank of species. I 

 think it probable that when a large amount of material can be examiued it will be 

 found necessary to reduce some of the Chinese forms I have considered as species to 

 the rank of A^arieties, or even to the synonymy. 



^Benson says this is not very distantly related to Unio undulatus Barnes. It has 

 never been figured, so far as I know, but from all I cau learn of it it belongs in this 

 group and may be Q. leai.
