23rd of June 2026: Anadara stempelli
Today is a shorter post just on Anadara stempelli, a species of marine bivalve delineated just under two years ago on June 28th 2024.
Their description actually comes not from a new collection, but rather researchers critically reviewing old samples. A. stempelli specifically was taken from shells collected back in 1899. While they were originally classified under Arca platei (now called Kamanevus platei), they have significantly more hinge teeth, which are oriented obliquely, not in parallel to the hinge line. The shell is only 1.3 cm long.
They were collected in the Juan Fernández archipelago, which is still their only known area of occurrence. This does make them the first Anadara species found in Chilean waters.
While they may have disagreed with his categorisation of this species, the researchers naming this species still decided to honour Carl Ludwig Walter Stempell, who published the original 1899 work, which was “a foundational work on the Juan Fernández bivalve fauna”.

Found around sunken boat debris, they are naturally curious but also skittish. The body inside it's shell is a confusing mess, but they are classifed as bivalve type monsturs.

They filter impurities from the water to grow their pearls. Their pearls are slightly toxic and of low value, but their ability to clean and purify vast quantities of sea water is unparalleled.
