Morphology of glochidia of freshwater anodontines from the Far Eastern genera Beringiana Starobogatov in Zatravkin, 1983 and Kunashiria Starobogatov in Zatravkin, 1983 is analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). First data on microsculpture of the outer surface of glochidia for Beringiana chereshnevi Bogatov et Starobogatov, 2001, B. compressa Sayenko et Bogatov, 1998, Kunashiria japonica (Clessin, 1874) and K. haconensis (Ihering, 1893) are given. Exterior valves have a net-like (looped) sculpture differing in detailes among studied genera.
