 Comments
       
  Comment: Original publication attributed to Rafinesque 1831, a rare, privately printed work that is not yet available online or in most libraries. It was republished in 1864, using original orthography. Therein (p.72), Unio is listed as a 'Tribe' after which is included '2. N.G. Toxolasma' with '79 sp. Unio lividus, (Toxolasma [lividus] 1822).' If the 1831 work is where the nominal taxon name lividus was made available, then it appears to be treating Toxolasma as the current genus, in which case the original combination is, by definition, Toxolasma lividus, despite the general confusion in the text  
    Mandatory correction for gender concordance. A recent review of Toxolasma (Lee, 2006) determined the gender is neuter and endings of four species changed accordingly. See also Williams et al. (2008:711)
