Taxonomic remark Meek (1876) described material, which he tentatively affiliated with Unio danae, but he gave a new name in case they should be considered distinct ["These, I am inclined to believe, belong to the species here described; but good specimens of the shell itself may show them to be entirely distinct; if so, they might be called Unio permusculosus"] [details]
