Taxonomy

Lovell Augustus Reeve described this species in 1845, placing it in the genus Isocardia.[2]

In 1994, S. Kosuge & T. Kase described a junior synonym M. delicata; this was synonymized in 1995 by Akihiko Matsukuma and Tadashige Habe.[4]

Reeve gave this species the specific epithet vulgaris "common" to reflect "the abundant importation of this once rare and highly praised shell."[2]

Distribution

The type locality of M. vulgaris and its junior synonym are China and Okinawa, Japan, respectively.[4]

Its distribution includes: China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Queensland, Australia, the Andaman Islands, Myanmar, Northeast India, Oman, Zanzibar and Madagascar.[4]

gollark: PS#D7CD76C0 is that you could do those during queueEvent. I should probably assign a bug number to the Polychoron-based version.
gollark: Yes, basically.
