Bivalve from Sri Lanka - helmetapointe - 03-26-2012
This Bivalve comes from North Sri Lanka. 40 / 45 mm

Yes, Veneridae, a species of Tapes. There are so many of them that look so similar, and so much synonymy in names, I can't name the species with certainty.
Re: Bivalve from Sri Lanka - helmetapointe - 03-26-2012
             Thank you Paul,
       They also have so many different patterns. ( i mean,the ones i collected ) so it is hard to id with documentation.

may be Tapes deshayesii (Hanley 1844).

Indeed, it is a Venus-species for sure. It looks like a Tawera lagopus...
Re: Bivalve from Sri Lanka - helmetapointe - 04-14-2012
Thank you Bart for reply !
Tawera lagopus location is South Australia & Tasmania,
and mine dont have granulate margin.
I dont think it is the right ID.
