Watters (1997) surveyed Three live specimens of anodontine bivalves the countries where this nonindiginous species had been suspected to be Sinaondonta woodiana were collected documented as established and reported them from from the New Jersey Conservation Foundation’s fish France, Hungary, Romania, Indonesia, Costa Rica, and ponds, offJoe Ent Road, 3.3 air miles south-southeast of the Dominican Republic.

These Malaysia [it is claimed by Brandt (1974) to have been specimens were placed directly into 95% ethyl alcohol imported to several Malaysian localities by Chinese fish and sent to the North Carolina State Museum of Natural breeders] and Taiwan. Watters (1998, 1999) added Sciences, Raleigh, and catalogued (number NCSM Singapore, the Philippines, and possibly Panama to the 46965) into the MolluskCollection. list ofcountries where this species has been introduced. A small mantle snip was taken to be used for DNA Watters (1997) noted the absence of Sinaondonta analyses. DNA was extracted and a portion of the mito- woodiana records for the United States but pointed out chondrial gene cytochrome oxidase subunit I [COI] was that it might be confused with the native species of sequenced following protocols outlined in Raley et al.
