Anodontoides radiatus is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. In 2018, Smith, Johnson, Pfeiffer and Gangloff placed this species in genus Strophitus on the basis of morphological and molecular features.[2][4] As of 2023, it is under review for listing under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.[5]

Distribution

This species is endemic to the United States.[1][2]
