Description
Genus Fimbria Mühlfeld, 1811
Fimbria Mühlfeld, 1811: 52.
TYPE SPECIES. — Fimbria magna Mühlfeld, 1811 (junior synonym of Venus fimbriata Linnaeus, 1758). (monotypy).
DIAGNOSIS. — Shell large, thick, ovate, anteriorly extended, inflated. Umbones low. Sculpture of radial ribs crossed by closely spaced, rounded commarginal lamellae. Lunule short, lanceolate. Ligament set in shallow groove. Hinge massive, with 2 cardinal teeth in each valve, a single, large anterior lateral tooth close to cardinals, with smaller posterior lateral located above posterior adductor scar. Anterior adductor muscle scar short, broad, reniform in outline, slightly deviating from the pallial line. Pallial line entire. Interior shell margin strongly denticulate.
REMARKS
Although often separated as a distinct family Fimbriidae (e.g., Chavan 1969), recent molecular analysis of Fimbria fimbriata indicates that it groups within a monophyletic Lucinidae (Williams et al. 2004).
