Sinanodonta jourdyi ( Morlet, 1886)

Anodonta jourdyi Morlet (1886) : 76.

Type locality: Lang Son, Vietnam [ Pearl River basin].

Comments: Based on molecular data, Do et al. (2018) found that a single Sinanodonta species is distributed in northern Vietnam ( Table 1). According to this evidence, S. jourdyi inhabits the Red and Pearl River drainage basins. S. hunganhi Thach, 2016 , from the Lam River appears to be a variety of S. jourdyi ( Do et al. 2018) . Do et al. (2018) listed S. elliptica ( Heude, 1878) as a synonym of S. jourdyi . However, S. elliptica has been described from Kien-te (Chien-te), Anhui, China [Yangtze River basin] ( Heude 1878) and it may therefore represent a separate species.
