This family of bivalves includes species commonly known as freshwater mussels or naiads and is particularly diverse in French waterways. The author was granted access to a renowned collection of Unionids assembled by the naturalist Henri Gadeau de Kerville. This unique opportunity allowed the author to meticulously examine numerous type specimens and clarify their taxonomic status, shedding light on the complex systematics of this group. Throughout the book, the author explores the rich diversity of Unionids in Normandy, France, with a focus on resolving the identities of species previously described by other researchers. The author's findings contribute significantly to our knowledge of the taxonomy and distribution of these fascinating creatures. By untangling the complexities of Unionid classification, this book provides a valuable resource for biologists and naturalists alike.
