The lucinid bivalve  Lucinoma kosatorea sp. nov.from the Pleistocene Cambantug Point seep deposit, Leyte, Philippines, holotype NMNS PM 28164, an isolated left valve; dorsal side (A 1), exterior surface showing sculpture (A 2), interior surface showing muscle scars and pallial line (A 3), close-up on hinge (A 4).  Remarks.—Very similar in shell shape is the Pleistocene Japanese species  Lucinoma aokii Hirayama, 1958, but it is larger than  L. kosatorea(L = 76.0 mm vs. L = 52.7 mmin  L. kosatorea), has a broader lunule with a clearly delimited margin, the hinge plate has an excavated area posterior to the umbo, and the ligament nymph is much narrower than in  L. kosatorea( Hirayama 1958). A specimen reported as  L. aokiifrom a Pleistocene seep deposit on the Boso Peninsula in Japan( Shibasaki and Majima 1997: 1068, fig. 4.12): differs from the holotypeof  L. kosatoreaby having a shorter but broader hinge plate, a straighter anteroventral margin, and a distinct external ridge running from the umbo to the anterior shell margin.    Lucinoma canudai,  L. velosoi, and  L. tinagoensisare much more inflated than  Lucinoma kosatorea. A similarly acutely rounded anterior margin is seen in the extant  Lucinoma anemiophila Holmes, Oliver, and Sellanes, 2005from methane seeps off of central Chile. But  L. anemiophilahas a truncated, angular posterior margin and a more distinctive posterior ridge than  Lucinoma kosatorea( Holmes et al. 2005).  Stratigraphic and geographic range.—Early Pleistocene, Leyte, Philippines.
