Boston 12:1–510 1852), a rare mactrid clam, is reported from the Kakinada fishing harbour, Andhra Pradesh, East coast of India. A single right valve specimen was collected from the fish landing centre, bycatch of bottom trawl operated off the Kakinada coast. This species has previously been recorded from Pirotan Island, Gulf of Kachchh, Gujarat, and Gulf of Mannar, Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu. A brief morphological description with an outline of the hinge nomenclature of this species is presented in this article, based on a single right valve.
