Discovery of Cryptic Mussel Biodiversity in the Genera <i>Pleurobema</i> and <i>Pleuronaia</i> Using Molecular Phylogenetics and Morphology, with Descriptions of a New Species and a Previously Synonymized Species

Freshwater mussels in the genera <i>Fusconaia</i>, <i>Pleurobema</i>, and <i>Pleuronaia</i> are similar in their external shell morphology, which has made the identification and classification of species within these genera difficult and led to many taxonomic revisions.
