The texts of the descriptions of some new species of Mactridae by G. P. Deshayes which appeared in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London for 1853 and 1854 were published beforehand in the monographs of Mactra and Lutraria in L. A. Reeve's Conchologia Iconica (1854-1855). Almost all Japanese authors accept that the author of Lutraria arcuata, L. sieboldii, Mactra veneriformis, M. quadrangularis, M. sulcataria, M. cornea, M. luzonica, M. angulifera, M. dolabrata, M. capillacea, M. trostralis, and M. pellicula is Reeve ; however, the wording of the descriptions of the following six species : Mactra luzonica, M. angulifera, M. mera, M. sulcataria, M. veneriformis, and M. quadrangularis in Reeve is nearly identical to those of Deshayes, being in places merely slightly shortened. The present author thus proposes that the authorship of these six species should be attributed to Deshayes in Reeve. Mactra veneriformis Deshayes in Reeve, 1854 is preoccupied by Mactra veneriformis Wood, 1828. Mactra quadrangularis Deshayes in Reeve is the oldest subjective synonym of Mactra veneriformis Deshayes in Reeve.
