notes:

*Imperiled (NatureServe 2008, TCDC 2003); Species of Concern (AOBIS 2001); Rare or Endangered (Jorgensen & Sharpe 1971)

-found in small to large rivers in sandy gravel and sand substrates (Howells et al. 1996)

-habitat degradation in the San Jacinto, Trinity and lower Neches Rivers has reduced or eliminated this species from many areas (Howells, Mather & Bergmann 2000)

-record from McClennan county as Lampsilis ventricosus satur Lea (Strecker 1908) is in error, may be an out of state speciman (Strecker 1931)
