A comparison of the mitochondrial haplotypes and conchological characteristics of shells madefor the first time for two species of anodontin freshwater bivalves from the Asian genus Sinanodonta (S. amu-rensis and S. primorjensis) has confirmed a similarity of these two taxa. It was shown on the basis of statisticalanalysis that the discussed taxa possess similar shells and similar genetic haplotypes, and the observed differences in DNA sequences of cox1 and shells relate to intraspecific genetic and geographical variation.
