Data on morphology of glochidia of the freshwater bivalves Nodularia amurensis (Mousson, 1887) and Middendorffinaia sujfunensis Moskvicheva et Starobogatov, 1973 are presented. Ultrastructural features of the glochidial shells of M. sujfunensis are studied with scanning electron microscope for the first time. The difference between outer microsculpture of the glochidial valves of M. sujfunensis and N. amurensis is described. Features of the outer microsculpture of glochidial shells of both studied species are compared with the literature data on other Far Eastern mussels.
