摘要

A new species of the protobranch bivalve Nucinella is described from Panglao, central Philippines. It lives in very shallow seagrass habitats and co-occurs with other chemosymbiotic lucinid bivalves Pillucina and Cardiolucina. The species has been included in recent molecular phylogenies. For comparison details of hinge teeth are provided for the type species of Nucinella, Pleurodon ovalis, from the Pliocene of England.
