03D13F6A3932306CFF7361EAD84316C9.taxon	description	Features of larvae (glochidia) shells can provide additional data for taxonomic revision of anodontine bivalves. As to genus Cristaria, glochidia have been studied mainly with light microscopes. The first description and a schematic picture of C. herculea glochidia from Lefu River (now Ilistaya River, Primorsky Krai), formerly known as C. plicata, were given by Shadin [1938]. Brief descriptions and schematic illustrations of C. discoidea and C. plicata (= C. spatiosa Clessin, 1875) glochidia from Honshu and Hokkaido islands (Japan) have been published by Inaba [Inaba, 1941, 1964]. Description and a schematic illustration of C. tuberculata glochidia were made by Antonova and Starobogatov [1988]; measurements and the photos made by light microscope were published by Prozorova and Sayenko [2001]. For C. plicata, the first light microscope photos of glochidia were published in Japan [Higashi, Hayashi, 1964]; morphometric characteristics of C. plicata glochidia were also studied by Chinese malacologists [Wei et al., 1994]. Scanning electron microscopy was the next step in the study of Cristaria glochidia. SEM investigations were condacted for C. herculea, C. tuberculata and C. plicata [Wu et al., 2000; Sayenko et al., 2005; Shu, Wu, 2005; Sayenko, 2006, 2013]. Among Cristaria species, data on microsculpture of the outer surface of glochidial valves are obtained only for C. plicata. Morphology of glochidia of the freshwater anodontine C. tuberculata from Khanka Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Russian Far East, was examined by the light and scanning electron microscopy with a purpose to investigate the ultra-sculpture of glochidial valves and to compare new data with the characteristics of C. plicata from Dongting Lake, the second largest freshwater lake (after Poyang Lake) in China (Hunan Province).	en	Sayenko, E.
