Abstract

The bivalve species Glycymeris bimaculata (Poli, 1795), G. glycymeris (Linnaeus, 1758) and G. violacescens (Lamarck, 1819) of the family Glycymerididae (Pteriomorpha) are reviewed. Literature citations, specimens deposited in collections, and unpublished data were consulted. For each species the valid name, Adriatic Sea synonyms, shell sizes, general and eastern Adriatic distribution, collection depths, habitat and biocenological characters, ecological significance, abundance, bivalve collections and additional relevant data are recorded. The results are discussed, and further study of certain species is suggested.
