New data on anodontine bivalves found in the Kievka River are discussed. Previously, only Beringiana beringiana (Middendorf, 1851) was known from the locality; in this study, a viable population of Buldowskia sujfunica (Lindholm, 1925) was found in the estuarine zone of the river. New locality is currently the north-easternmost point of distribution of B. sujfunica . For the first time, the co-occurence of the unionid B. sujfunica and the cyrenid Corbicula japonica Prime, 1864 was observed in the Kievka River estuary. Morphometric data on B. sujfunica shells were obtained, and some aspects of the ecological conditions of existence of these freshwater bivalves are discussed. Infestation of anodontines B. sujfunica by water mites (hydrachnids) of the genus Unionicola Haldeman, 1842 was detected.
