Looks to me like Pharaonella tongana. As to sites for Tellinidae, I know of none specifically but there are several shell sites that list species of Tellinidae. Best advice is to use a search engine like Google.

many thanks Dave for helping me, although i have some doubts on the broad shape of my shell and the stain on the umbones, i will still follow your id, and thanks for your suggestion. i search at femorale, idscaro, & shellauction for some picture comparison. it is somehow same features on my tellin shell.
regards,
Diocris.
