Data on ultrastructural features of glochidial shells of the invasive freshwater bivalves Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) from Odra River and Konin Lakes basins, Poland, are presented for the first time. A comparison of conchological characters of glochidia among Sinanodonta species is given. It was found that glochidia of S. woodiana from Poland are close to the ones from Asia differing from Sinanodonta species in Primorye (southern Russian Far East).
