Venerids from around the British Isles (by Jan Light).
Top: Venerupis senegalensis (=pullastra)
Middle: Tapes rhomboides
Bottom: Tapes aureus
Note: pink flush in interior umbone of rhomboides
- diagnostic
Note: golden flush in aureus (but sometimes
present in senegalensis)
Note: dark brownish purple on interior of
senegalensis
but not present in pale coloured individuals.
Note similarities in outline to the untrained
eye. Also once you get to know the species you recognise colour combinations
and patterns not seen in the other 2.
