For the genus Cerastoderma, the species status of Pontocaspian material is subject of debate where morphological and increasingly molecular arguments show the possibility of sibling species occurrences (Sromek et al. 2016). The genus Didacna is relatively well established, however much uncertainty exists over distinction between the genera Monodacna, Adacna, and Hypanis. The generic concepts have shifted through time. Only lately, Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al. (2013) treated Monodacna as a subgenus of Adacna. Büyükmeriç and Wesselingh (2018) discussed the distinction between the three genera and considered Monodacna, Adacna, and Hypanis as valid.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8CFDFF4324AB9BF72508110AFA2A495D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Introduced in the Caspian Sea between 1917 and 1919 (Grigorovich et al. 2003).</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. This species has commonly been mentioned as Mytilaster lineatus (Gmelin, 1791), but the Caspian-Aral species lacks the ribbing typical for that species. The attribution to M. minimus is based on shell morphology but confirmation from molecular analyses is required.</p> <p>Remarks. Mytilaster minimus has successfully replaced Dreissena caspia and D. elata between 1938 and 1957 (Kostianoy and Kosarev 2005) in the Caspian Sea. Logvinenko and Starobogatov (1969) reported this species from the southern areas of the northern Caspian Sea, in the middle and the southern Caspian Sea down to 35-50 m water depth. Rarely, small individuals were found at depths down to 100 m. The species does not tolerate salinities below 7-8‰. This species was mentioned from depths between 200 and 600 m in the South Caspian Basin of Azerbaijan (Mirzoev and Alekperov 2017, who reported the species as M. lineatus). These deep records are unusual given other records and will require confirmation.</p> <p>Conservation status.

Further research on the labels and documentation is required to assess whether a new lectotype or even neotype must be assigned for Adacna laeviuscula.</p> <p>Distribution. Caspian Sea; limans, coastal lakes, and Danube Delta in Black Sea Basin (in case A. fragilis will be shown to be a synonym of A. laeviuscula).</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. See discussion under A. fragilis.</p> <p>Remarks. Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al. (2013) list the presence of this species at 30-60 m water depth in the Caspian Sea from muddy, sandy-mud, and rarely sandy bottoms. Logvinenko and Starobogatov (1969) reported the species from the northern, middle, and southern Caspian Sea basins down to 80-85 m water depth. In the Caspian Sea, the species has not been found in areas with salinities below 4‰. However, the common occurrence of fresh (paired) specimens on beaches seen at Turali (Dagestan, Russia) and northern Azerbaijan indicates this species maintains viable populations in foreshore and possibly even shoreface habitats.</p> <p>Conservation status.

The Black Sea Basin material has a wide variety of shapes and often is thinner and sometimes more elliptical than the Caspian A. laeviuscula. Both forms were synonymised by Graf and Cummings (2018) and indicated as a possible synonym in MolluscaBase (2018b). However, the Black Sea Basin occurrences are recorded from (coastal) lakes and small rivers suggesting little or only partial overlap in the ecological (and especially salinity) preferences of A. laeviuscula (e.g., Munasypova-Motyash 2006a, b, Popa et al. 2009). We are uncertain if A. fragilis might constitute a geographical subspecies (a status advocated by Grossu 1973), and further molecular analyses are needed to clarify the status of the Black Sea taxon.</p> <p>Remarks.

Graf and Cummings (2018) consider this species as a synonym of A. vitrea, but Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al. (2013) regards it as a valid species. The latter considers A. minima minima from the Aral Sea and A. minima ostroumovi syn. n. from the Caspian Sea as distinct geographical subspecies. The likely disappear ance of the species from the Aral Sea makes a molecular assessment of their distinctness very difficult and given the lack of other arguments we synonymise both. Furthermore, we are uncertain about the status of the subspecies Hypanis minima sidorovi Starobogatov, 1974 from the western Aral Sea. Without further data we assume it concerns a form that falls within the wide morphological variation of A. minima. We moreover are very uncertain as to the status of Hypanis minima from Holocene deposits of Aral Sea as illustrated by Filippov and Riedel (2009, fig. 4s, t). The juvenile specimen has relatively strong cardinal teeth, onset of clear ribs, and a general shape that more resembles Monodacna caspia.</p> <p>Remarks. The species has been recorded mostly from the middle and southern Caspian Sea and more rarely from the eastern areas in the northern Caspian Sea down to 35 m water depth (Logvinenko and Starobogatov 1969) as well as from the Aral Sea from where it may have disappeared.</p> <p>Conservation status.

This concerns a common rhomboid-shaped species in the Pontocaspian region whose name is uncertain. It has a short ligament in common with C. glaucum and the persistent occurrence of ribs on the posterior margin, the well-defined character of the ribs and the regular occurrence of scales in common with western European C. edule. This form has been often referred to as C. rhomboides (Lamarck, 1819) that has been described from the Italian Pliocene but that concerns a typical glaucum form (Fig. 2), not the rhomboid form of the Pontocaspian Cerastoderma. The species has been named Cardium edule var. nuciformis by Milaschewitch (1916), but that name is a junior primary homonym of Cardium nuciforme d’Orbigny, 1850. Even though some morphological features mentioned in the description of C. lamarcki (Reeve, 1845) may resemble those of the Pontocaspian species, the former has been traced to southern Great Britain from where molecular analyses only show the presence of C. glaucum (Nikula and Väinölä 2003).</p> <p>Conservation status.

The type series (?Recent, Caspian Sea) was reported as lost by Nevesskaja (2007) who introduced a neotype from the Elton Lake surroundings in the northern Caspian plains, Russia (early Khvalynian, Late Pleistocene).</p> <p>Distribution. Middle and southern Caspian Sea basins; it is most common in the middle basin at 25-85 m water depth (Logvinenko and Starobogatov 1969).</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. According to Logvinenko and Starobogatov (1969), two subspecies occur in the Caspian Sea at different depth ranges: D. protracta protracta at 25-50 m and D. protracta submedia Andrusov, 1910 at 50-85 m. The latter differs from D. p. protracta by the relative posterior location of the umbo that is furthermore subdued. Both forms of Didacna protracta are widespread in the Khvalynian deposits of the Caspian Sea and Manych depression. According to Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al. (2013) morphological differences characteristic for the subspecies of Didacna protracta are due to allometric growth. The mere difference in depth distribution, with overlapping depths and intermediate forms, does not provide any argument to maintain these subspecies. Didacna protracta is the type species of the subgenus Protodidacna Logvinenko &amp; Starobogatov, 1966.</p> <p>Remarks. The authorship attribution of this species to Eichwald (1829) as proposed by several authors was rejected in Vinarski and Kantor (2016). According to them, Cardium protractum Eichwald, 1829, described from the western Ukraine, probably refers to a different species.</p> <p>Conservation status.

The Black Sea populations of H. plicata show a large range of morphological variation with elongated specimens that cannot be distinguished from Caspian H. plicata to severely stunted and irregularly shaped specimens that have been considered as a subspecies (H. plicata relicta) or as distinct species (H. dolosmiana) (e.g., Munasypova-Motyash 2006a). These forms have intermediates indicating that the Black Sea Basin specimens are a single species that should be attributed to H. plicata even though the latter appear to have lived under lower salinities than their Caspian counterparts. Molecular studies are required to elucidate the status of the Black Sea Basin material.</p> <p>Conservation status. Not assessed. Fresh shells (including paired specimens) have been found at several beaches around the Caspian Sea (Turali, Dagestan, Russia; Şuraabad, Azerbaijan; FW). The species has been reported alive from the Razim lake complex of the Romanian Black Sea coast by Popa et al. (2009).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1250F071F221B21FFD0054084886D4B0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

Native to all Black Sea Basin Pontocaspian habitats and lower courses of adjacent rivers such as the Danube, Dnieper, and Dniester; invasive in Caspian Sea Basin and lower Volga, as well as Lake Balkhash (Kazakhstan).

Monodacna colorata appears to be a morphologically very variable species. Here, we propose to synonymise several local Black Sea species with this taxon. Given the difficulty to distinguish relatively flat shells typically associated with M. colorata from the more convex shells typically associated with M. pontica in, e.g., Lake Razim (Romania) and the apparent lack of genetic differentiation of convex specimens from M. colorata we assume that M. pontica is a synonym of M. colorata. Shell differences have been attributed to substrate differences. Further investigations to confirm the synonymy are required. Monodacna angusticostata was synonymised by Popa et al. (2012) based on molecular evidence, even though some morphological distinction was reported from M. colorata, which they attributed to differential habitat preference (sediment type).</p> <p>Conservation status.

The species is commonly subdivided into a Caspian subspecies (D. caspia caspia) and an Aral Sea subspecies (D. caspia pallasi Andrusov, 1897). However, syntypes of the latter illustrated in Rosenberg and Ludyanskiy (1994, fig. 3f) show a broad and keeled Dreissena that has major morphological characters in common with D. polymorpha / elata rather than D. caspia. Filippov and Riedel (2009) reported Dreissena caspia from Holocene core deposits of Aral Sea, but given the juvenile status of their material they noted they were uncertain whether it might comprise D. polymorpha. Dreissena caspia was reported alive from the remaining "small Aral Sea" by Plotnikov et al. (2016). However, this latter record concerns more likely D. polymorpha and needs confirmation.

Dreissena elata has morphological features in common with D. polymorpha, including a relatively wide shell and a well-pronounced keel located close to the ventral margin. However, the D. elata shell is in general wider, flatter, and has a more rounded abapical margin even though shell characters are higly variable. Dreissena elata has been reported from areas in the Caspian Sea with salinities well above 5 ‰, which is unusual for D. polymorpha elsewhere. We are uncertain whether D. elata might be a sibling species. Its apparently distinct morphology and autecological preferences suggest it is different from D. polymorpha, but it will require molecular comparison to investigate whether it concerns a mere morph that has undergone "ecological release" (Kohn 1972) or is a different species. However, no living specimens of D. elata have been recorded since 1957 (Kostianoy and Kosarev 2005) when its Caspian habitats were invaded by Mytilaster minimus.</p> <p>Conservation status. Not assessed. It was reported as extinct by Kostianoy and Kosarev (2005, and references therein). If D. elata is accepted as a valid species, it might qualify for the same conservation status as D. caspia (critically endangered, possibly extinct; von Rintelen and Van Damme 2011b).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/B1EFAF16DA62C4AB4576FCD817F475C3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Middle to southern Caspian Sea basins. This species was mentioned from depths between 200 and 400 m in the South Caspian Basin of Azerbaijan (Mirzoev and Alekperov 2017, who reported the species as D. rostriformis compressa) and found living offshore Aktau (Kazakhstan) in 2017 below 20 m water depth.</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. This Caspian species is very often cited as Dreissena rostriformis. Rosenberg and Ludyanskiy (1994: 1497) discuss the uncertainties of this attribution but state that "D. pontocaspica, D. distincta, D. compressa, and D. grimmi are synonyms of D. rostriformis" even though they find "some justification for maintaining a distinction between an extinct subspecies, D. rostriformis rostriformis and a living one, for which D. rostriformis grimmi is the oldest name". Their figure of the lectotype of D. rostriformis (Rosenberg and Ludyanskiy 1994: fig. 2a), which derives from Pliocene deposits of the Black Sea Basin, concerns a relative small, thick-shelled, and low Dreissena with a pointed beak and lacking a keel. On interior view, the shell area outside the pallial line is thick. Deshayes’s lectotype has several characters in common with modern Caspian D. rostriformis and the closely related Black Sea Basin D. bugensis. Yet, the Pliocene form has a broader umbonal area that results in a more subquadrangular shape, which is different from the modern Caspian Dreissena that have tear-drop to pear-shaped shells. The subquadrangular shape of Deshayes’s material is even more pronounced in the pallial line on the shell’s interior, a feature not seen in any modern Caspian material. The Pliocene Black Sea D. rostriformis has its general shape in common with Apsheronian (Early Pleistocene) Caspian dreissenids referred to as D. carinatocurvata as illustrated in Kolesnikov (1950, pl. 14, figs 14-16). Hence, we conclude that the recent Caspian species should be treated different from Pliocene D. rostriformis and the name D. grimmi should be applied instead.</p> <p>Various subspecies have been attributed to Caspian Dreissena rostriformis (see, e.g., Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al. 2013 for a synonymy list). Even though morphological differences appear to be large, intermediates are known between the morphs. Stepien et al. (2013) reviewed molecular evidence for species boundaries within Dreissena. They concluded that (1) all Caspian Sea forms that have been mentioned in literature as (sub-) species of D. rostriformis (= D. grimmi) are one and the same species and (2) there is not enough molecular evidence and great difficulty in morphology to separate the Caspian species from the Black Sea Basin D. bugensis. We agree with the first point made by Stepien et al. (2013); all forms reported from the middle and southern Caspian Sea basins appear to be mere morphs of a single species, a feature also noted by Rosenberg and Ludyanskiy (1994). However, we disagree with their second proposal. Dreissena bugensis and D. grimmi have non-overlapping ecological tolerances and are separated geographically (Rosenberg and Ludyanskiy 1994). This fact together with the very limited but consistent genetic differentiation suggests that it may concern very recently evolved sister species. In the early 1980s, D. bugensis was introduced in the Volga (Zhulidov et al. 2005) and since then spread from there to central and western Europe and North America. So far, Dreissena bugensis has only been reported from the Volga itself and its delta but not from the northern Caspian Sea Basin. If it would be conspecific with the middle-southern Caspian species, which lives at higher salinities and deeper habitats, we would expect that the invasive populations in the north would have been blended with the Caspian population in the south. With no such intermediate populations found so far we consider both taxa as viable species.</p> <p>Conservation status. Least Concern (for Dreissena rostriformis; von Rintelen and Van Damme 2011c).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/A2F66A8F8031EE8B1ED7BC3D1DD9F358	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Dreissena polymorpha has been subject of intense DNA and ecological studies, but rarely were Caspian communities involved.

Occurrences in rivers and deltas of the Pontocaspian region are consistently attributed to Dreissena polymorpha. However, slightly deviating morphs exist(ed) in salinities typically not favoured by D. polymorpha elsewhere in the Caspian and Aral seas. A particular form of Dreissena polymorpha, documented by Kijashko in Bogutskaya et al. (2013), viz. D. polymorpha andrusovi (his figure 118b) will need further study as it has many morphological similarities with D. caspia (including general shape, location of semidiameter, and broad flat shape of hinge platform).</p> <p>Conservation status.

Widely distributed all over Europe, Anatolia, and north-western Africa. Within the Pontocaspian region, it is a common component of the lower reaches of Black and Azov Sea drainages (specifically in Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine). Towards the east, the species extends at least as far as the Don River system in Russia and the coastal rivers of Georgia, but it is absent from the Caspian system. Records of this species from Iran and western Asia are likely misidentifications (AFS, unpublished data).</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. Theodoxus fluviatilis exhibits considerable variation in shell colouration and shape (Glöer and Pešić 2015). Unpublished molecular data confirm the synonymy of a number of taxa such as Theodoxus euxinus syn. n., T. danasteri, and T. subthermalis syn. n., and further suggest the inclusion of T. saulcyi and T. heldreichi (AFS, unpublished data). A final decision concerning the status of T. dniestroviensis Put’, 1972 described from the Dniester River (Rukhotyn village, Khotyn district, Chernivtsi region, Ukraine) is not possible at the moment. Despite appropriate efforts, we were unable to trace the type specimens of this species. Based on the original description and illustration (Put’ 1972) it was considered as a junior synonym of T. fluviatilis by Anistratenko et al. (1999) having an unusual colour pattern. Theodoxus milachevichi was described as a subfossil from the Crimean coast. It closely resembles morphotypes of both T. fluviatilis and T. velox V. Anistratenko in O. Anistratenko et al., 1999 and might be synonym of either species (compare type material illustrated in Kantor and Sysoev 2006). However, the morphological variability of the taxa involved, as well as the lacking possibility of acquiring genetic data for T. milachevichi, complicates a decision on the independence or synonymy of this species.</p> <p>Conservation status.

Eichwald (1838) introduced the species Neritina liturata based on material from the shores of Derbent (Dagestan, Russia, northwestern Caspian Sea). That name is invalid as it is a junior primary homonym of N. liturata Schultze, 1826; it was replaced by Lindholm (1924) with Theodoxus pallasi (see also Anistratenko et al. 2017). Theodoxus pallasi is a widely used name, but a major nomenclatural change might be due. Unpublished molecular data suggest that all Theodoxus from the Caspian Sea, Azov Sea, and Armenian lakes Sevan and Yerevan, as well as several mineral springs and streams in the Khorasan provinces of Iran, belong to a single species (AFS, unpublished results). The oldest name available for that group is Theodoxus major Issel, 1865, described from Lake Sevan in Armenia (originally as variety of the unavailable name T. schirazensis). Akramovskiy (1976) noted the similarity of T. pallasi and T. major and considered the latter as a morphotype of the former. Although he did not explicitly state it, he thereby suggested the two taxa to be synonymous. This view was adopted by Vinarski and Kantor (2016), who listed major in synonymy of pallasi, although Issel’s (1865) name has priority. The potential synonymy also involves T. schultzii. Despite the characteristic appearance of the syntypes, the presence of intermediate morphologies in samples taken on shores of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan in 2016 and 2017 (pers. obs. OA, VA, FW) indicates a close relationship with T. pallasi. The radulae of these two species differ in the relative width of the central and marginal teeth (see Zettler 2007 and compare Anistratenko et al. 2017).</p> <p>Unfortunately, the types of T. major, supposed to be in the Museo Regionale di Scienze Naturali, Torino, are inaccessible at the moment due to museum renovation (E Gavetti, pers. comm., Oct 2018). We refrain from a final conclusion on the synonymy of the species involved until information on the types of all taxa as well as published molecular data are available.

The Hydrobiidae form the most species-rich mollusc group in the Pontocaspian region. However, in general, useful shell characters are few and highly variable (Wilke and Delicado in press). Descriptions in the past have often been very general, and illustrations of types are notably poor for several of the endemic taxa. A strong tendency of naming large numbers of species has developed throughout the 20th century (e.g., Logvinenko and Starobogatov 1969), but for some groups where morphological and genetic analyses could be performed (e.g., Caspiohydrobia spp.) it has been demonstrated that actual species numbers were much lower than the number of species described (Haase et al. 2010). For many of the endemic species, especially in the genus Turricaspia, the apparent loss of types, combined with the lack of living material makes it impossible to assess their taxonomic status. Currently, a number of taxonomic works is in progress on the endemic Pontocaspian hydrobiid groups, and some different insights on the genus-level classifications exist. Here, we adopt a conservative approach, mostly based on Neubauer et al. (2018).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/74F5A65C021B13171AAD6909F1EE8CAC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

The distinction of the genera Caspia, Ulskia, and Clathrocaspia follows Neubauer et al. (2018). The three taxa are differentiated based on details of the protoconch and the expression of teleoconch sculpture. Caspia s. s. is characterised by a single distinct but fine spiral keel below the suture. It is usually smooth, yet within the type species some reticulate ornament can be found. Species of Clathrocaspia expose a distinctive, reticulate pattern on the teleoconch and a malleate protoconch with faint spiral threads. The aperture of Clathrocaspia often develops a distinct flat base. The discinction of the two genera is subject of current research. Ulskia also has a malleate protoconch but with more distinct spiral threads; teleoconch sculpture is occasionally present as minute elongate nodules.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/307865013EE22C85AA859BFD685F3553	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Since the type material of Logvinenko and Starobogatov (1969) has not been found, and the whereabouts of the material of Tadjalli-Pour (1977) is unknown, a re-examination of these species has to be postponed. Here, we suggest to treat them as nomina dubia until more information becomes available.</p> <p>Conservation status.

Most of the species that have been assigned to the genus Caspiohydrobia Starobogatov, 1970, including its type species, Pyrgohydrobia eichwaldiana Golikov &amp; Starobogatov, 1966, range within the morphological variability of E. grimmi. Previous examination of some Caspiohydrobia juvenile shells (Filippov and Riedel 2009, Anistratenko 2013, fig. 4 A–C) as well as reproductive systems and radula did not find any criteria to support differentiation. Probably, all of the thirty Caspiohydrobia species listed by Kantor and Sysoev (2006) and Vinarski and Kantor (2016) for the Caspian Sea are morphotypes of a single species. Prelimary genetic analyses of Caspiohydrobia spp. from salt lakes near Chelyabinsk, Russia (TW, unpublished data) support this assumption.</p> <p>Conservation status.

That species was described from the Zapadnyi Bug River in Poland and closely resembles C. variabilis. It is, however, unlikely that a Pontocaspian species typical of oligohaline conditions occurs so far away in a pure freshwater environment. " Paludina eichwaldi Krynicki, 1837" found in the literature is a nomen nudum. Martens (1874) provided measurements and made the name available, but he listed Paludina variabilis Eichwald, 1838 in synonymy, which has priority. Dybowski (1887) obviously overlooked this and considered Nematurella eichwaldi Krynicki a valid species. We follow Vinarski and Kantor (2016) and consider the species as a junior synonym of Clessiniola variabilis.</p> <p>Conservation status.

The record of an undescribed subspecies of T. boltovskoji from the Caspian Sea mentioned by Anistratenko and Stadnichenko (1995) is probably based on a misidentification.</p> <p>Taxonomic notes. Golikov and Starobogatov (1966) and Alexenko and Starobogatov (1987) introduced a plethora of names for morphologically similar species from the northern Black Sea Basin, partly deriving from subfossil horizons. They differ from Laevicaspia lincta slightly in the number of whorls and outline shape, but overall range within its morphological variability. Here, we consider them tentatively all junior synonyms of L. lincta. Since Starobogatov’s type material is unknown, support for this approach requires collection of new material from the type localities of these taxa. Molecular data confirmed the conspecifity of L. lincta and L. milachevitchi (Wilke et al. 2007).</p> <p>Conservation status.

As the oldest described species presently attributed to Turricaspia, the validity of this species is without doubt. Its identity, however, is poorly known, given the limited information and poor drawing provided by Eichwald (1855), as well as the largely diverging concepts applied by later authors (see Neubauer et al. 2018 for a detailed discussion of the matter). We have a geographic record (Anistratenko and Prisyazhniuk 1992) that is outside the Caspian–Aral distribution range of this genus. Comparison of the Danube material with Caspian specimens suggests the identification might be correct, yet further detail study is required to assess whether the Danube record might actucally not be an unusual form of Laevicaspia lincta.</p> <p>Conservation status.

Logvinenko and Starobogatov (1966b) considered this species and Andrusovia dybowskii Brusina in Westerlund, 1902b to belong in the same genus, Anisus (Andrusovia), rendering P. dybowskii Kolesnikov, 1947 a junior homonym. Therefore, they introduced A. kolesnikovi as replacement name.

A revision is required to investigate if the Caspian Gyraulus species are distinct species or morphotypes of G. eichwaldi. The generic placement follows Vinarski and Kantor (2016). Note that those authors listed the earlier described P. eichwaldi dybowskii Kolesnikov, 1947 as a synonym of G. kolesnikovi.</p> <p>Conservation status.

The species in its present combination as Gyraulus sulcatus (following Vinarski and Kantor 2016) is invalid as it is a secondary homonym of the Miocene Gyraulus sulcatus (Hilgendorf, 1867). We refrain here from introducing a replacement name as the species’ status is uncertain. It resembles G. eichwaldi and G. kolesnikovi in outline shape and differs only in the more pronounced angle between whorl flank and apical plane and the shallow furrow on the apical side. An in-depth revision is required to clarify if Gyraulus sulcatus is a distinct species or a mere morphotype of G. eichwaldi (Clessin &amp; Dybowski in Dybowski, 1887).</p> <p>Conservation status.
