A new species of the genus Policordia (Bivalvia, Verticordioidea, Lyonsiellidae) from off the coast of southern California.

ABSTRACT: A new species, Policordia hispida, is described and compared with three similar species: Policordia densicostata (Locard, 1898); Policordia pilula (Pelseneer, 1911) and a yet un-described species, Policordia sp. (= Policordia pilula sensu Ivanova, 1977 not Pelseneer, 1911). This is a first record for the genus in the Californian province.
