Malleidae 丁蠣科:Shell medium- or large-sized, subequivalve to inequivalve. Though the shape is considerably irregular, many species are T-shaped with elonged wings and main body. Umbo placed near the center of dorsal margin. Byssus often degenerated. Shell microstructure similar to that of the Pteriidae, though nacreous layer is relatively thin. Inner layer narrowly distributed owing to the remarkably elastic mantle. Monomyarian. Filibranchiate. Heart pierced by rectum. |
