English common name: Huizhou Mussel.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>The establishment of the new genus Huizhou is justified by congruent evidence from morphology and molecular phylogeny. It differs morphologically from the type genus Globunio of the tribe Globunionini by lacking the diagnostic elongated-globular shell. Phylogenetically, the two genera form distinct, strongly supported lineages with a considerable genetic distance (11 % for COI), which falls within the range of intergeneric divergence observed in other unionid tribes. This combination of marked morphological discontinuity and significant genetic differentiation provides compelling evidence for their separation at the generic level.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/78AAA477F8CE5C4DBF1F14AEE855D0F1	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
