Pleurobema Rafinesque . 116 This is a large group, of which more than seventy species are known. With the exception of a few species found in the Ohio and Mississippi drainage, it is confined to the streams of the Southeastern States from Tennessee and Georgia to the Mississippi. The shells of this genus are easily distinguished from the Quadrulae, which they often resemble by the uniformly shallow beak cavities. Type, P. dava Lam. (Fig. 1487)..
