Anodonta luteola, taxonomic position, glochidium morphology, Costa RicaAbstract
Glochidia larvae from Anodonta luteola were observed in gills of Oreochromis niloticus from a farm in Cañas, Guanacaste. Samples were taken and analyzed by electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy. Glochidia were 311, 8μm total length (TL), 331,7μm total
height (TH), and 251,1μm hinge dorsal length (HDL). Anodonta has 21
species reported for the Panamica province, and A. luteola has five synonyms, often used in different reports.
