The literature on the mussels (Mollusca: Margaritiferidae and Unionidae) of Kansas includes a collection of names of species and subspecies that makes it difficult for even experienced malacologists to decipher which taxa actually were collected. Compounding this problem is the absence of voucher specimens for some of the studies conducted in the state.

A publication based on a thorough review of voucher specimens from past collections (where possible) and current distributions of freshwater mussels throughout Kansas would be extremely beneficial to those people presently studying this group; however, that is not possible at this time. In its absence, it is hoped that this list will aid those who are conducting research and want to assess their results with reference to the earlier accounts.

To accomplish this, the index can be useful in two ways. You can take the currently accepted name of a taxon to check for publications that included that name (listed under the name). Also listed are taxa that represent probable synonyms or assumed misidentifications (under "Synonyms"). Entries for each of these names will provide additional references that referred to the species by these other names. You also can start with the name of a taxon from one of the published references and find that name in the list. This will provide you with a scientific name that is currently recommended. Without checking voucher specimens, it is assumed that the author was referring to this species. Preferred common names are given with entries for the currently accepted scientific names.

This alphabetical list of valid taxa, synonyms, and assumed misidentifications of freshwater mussels of Kansas is drawn from the literature and not an examination of specimens. The primary references used to provide probable synonyms were those by Burch (1975), Cope (1979), Murray and Leonard (1962), and Oesch (1984). R. Angelo (Kansas Department of Health and Environment), W. Busby (Kansas Biological Survey), C. Cope and E. Miller (Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks), D. Distler and D. Bleam (Wichita State University), D. Mulhern (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), and B. Obermeyer (Emporia State University) reviewed the register, and they offered corrections and helpful suggestions. Comments made by Call (1885-1887) and Isely (1925) in their publications also were used, as were additional references noted in the list.

Recommended names of species and probable distributions of species in Kansas were taken from the summaries by Turgeon et al. (1988) and Williams et al. (1993). Scientific and common names of species assumed to be extant or extirpated members of the Kansas fauna (44 species in the 1994 list; 48 in 2008) are highlighted in bold print.

Within the list, an equals sign (=) indicates that the first name given is not recognized as a valid taxon and is a synonym of the second name given. In some instances, a misidentification is assumed, with the second (or third) name given likely representing the specimen collected in Kansas. Explanatory comments accompany several of these entries.

With the continued interest in the unionid mussels of Kansas, several studies have been published since 1994, which prompted this electronic revision. Also worthy of mention is the guide to Kansas mussels beautifully illustrated by Karen Couch (1997). The color illustrations are an invaluable aid in the identification of species in this group. Daniel Bleam, Karen Couch, and Donald Distler undertook the task of preparing a new key to the species of mussels in Kansas (Bleam et al. 1999).
