The mangrove-associated chemosymbiotic lucinid bivalve Austriella corrugata (Deshayes, 1843) ranges throughout Southeast Asia where it inhabits mud amongst mangrove trees. Although this species is relatively well-known, our research indicates other quite abundant, related species, also inhabiting mangroves and their margins, which are neglected in the literature. A new genus (Indoaustriella) is proposed to include the smaller species that resemble Austriella in external characters but possess lateral hinge teeth; these include Indodustriella plicifera (A. Adams, 1855) from Malaysia and India, I. lamprelli, new species from Moreton Bay and southern Queensland, Australia, two species with both anterior and posterior lateral teeth, I. dalli (Lynge, 1909) from the Gulf of Thailand and I. scarlatoi (Zorina, 1978) from southern China and Hong Kong. Species and generic discrimination are corroborated by 18S, 28S rRNA and cytochrome B molecular sequences.
