| Abstract |
A new species of Chamidae, Chama isaacooki sp. nov., is described from northern Australia and a key to the Australian Chamidae presented. In addition, the phenomenon of left versus right valve attachment in chamids is discussed, particularly in relation to recognition of the genus Pseudochama Odhner, 1917. It is concluded that the identity of valve attachment is not a reliable, sole basis for distinguishing Pseudochama from Chama. |
