Until recently, <i>T. noae</i> was considered conspecific with <i>T. maxima</i>. However, in this study, among the four genes (COI, 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA) examined, two (i.e., 16S rRNA and COI) genes grouped <i>T. maxima</i> into two distinct clades, suggesting that a cryptic species was involved. The genetic distance of the 16S rRNA gene between <i>T. maxima</i> and cryptic species was 0.042–0.048. In contrast, the differences within the clades comprising <i>T. maxima</i> and the cryptic species were 0–0.003 and 0–0.005, respectively. A careful comparison of morphological traits revealed differences between T. maxima and the cryptic species, and the shells of the latter species were consistent with the figures referred to by Röding for the species he named ‘<i>noae</i>’. <i>Tridacna noae</i> differs from <i>T. maxima</i> in the appearance and arrangement of hyaline organs on the mantle in living specimens. In contrast, shell characters such as numbers of radial ribs and prominence of rib scales, were relatively unreliable. Occasionally, prominent rib scales only grew in one valve of an individual, e.g., in one <i>T. maxima</i> specimen from Hongchia. Based on previous and the present studies, here, a formal taxonomic description of <i>Tridacna noae</i> (Röding, 1798) with the designation of a neotype is provided.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"<i>Tridacna noae</i> (Röding, 1798) – a valid giant clam species separated from <i>T. maxima</i> (Röding, 1798) by morphological and genetic data","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-09 01:31:54.080790","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Tridacninae, CO1, 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA, lectotype, Taiwan","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2014,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-02-13","DateCreate":"2017-08-17","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000342864800016","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":288257,"PubliDate":2014,"Pagination":"124-135","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"62","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":45897,"SerRR":"Raffles Bulletin of Zoology.
