Hi, everyone!
I am now working on my master's thesis, dealing with the bivalves of Jeju Island. A small, moderately common species here has been referred to by two names: Loxoglypta [=Jactellina] lauta and L. clathrata. Some Korean literature uses "lauta" and Okutani (2000) uses "Jactellina clathrata". Both names appear to refer to the same species. However, while Habe (1981) treats L. lauta as a synonym of L. clathrata, WoRMS accepts both species as valid. Is there a tellinid specialist out there who can help me, or anyone who has any information on the correct name of this pretty little tellin? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
