Toxolasma lividum: Comments
Comment:
Gender (as neuter) is addressed by Lee (2006) and Williams et al. (2008:711). Original publication attributed to Rafinesque 1831, a rare, privately printed work that is not yet available online or in most libraries. It was republished in 1864, using original orthography. Therein (p.72), Unio is listed as a 'Tribe' after which is included '2. N.G. Toxolasma' with '79 sp. Unio lividus, (Toxolasma [lividus] 1822).' If the 1831 work is where the nominal taxon name lividus was made available, then it appears to be treating Toxolasma as the current genus, in which case the original combination is, by definition, Toxolasma lividus, despite the general confusion in the text
Comment:
Widespread in the Interior Basin, excluding the upper Mississippi, USA
