Aunque de algunas especies no se dispone de citas bibliográficas concretas para dicha provincia, se contempla la presencia, actual y/o histórica, de al menos seis especies pertenecientes a tres fami- lias diferentes: Margaritiferidae (Margaritifera auricularia), Unionidae (Anodonta cygnea, Potomida littoralis y Unio mancus) y Sphaeriidae (Pisidium casertanum y Pisidium personatum).

Palabras clave: conservación, Margaritifera, Anodonta, Unio, Potomida, Pisidium, especies invasoras. ABSTRACT The scarce information on the freshwater bivalve diversity of La Rioja province is reviewed. At least six species belonging to three different families are present: Margaritiferidae (Margaritifera auricularia), Unionidae (Anodonta cygnea, Potomida littoralis and Unio mancus) and Sphaeriidae (Pisidium casertanum and Pisidium personatum). New prospections must be done in order to know the real diversity of this group in La Rioja province. Control measures are also recommended to prevent the inva- sion of the exotic bivalves Corbicula fluminea and Dreissena polymorpha.

This compilation summarizes titles of articles published in 2015. Additionally, pertinent titles of articles published prior to 2015 also have been included if they had not been cited in previous reviews (or to correct errors in previous annual bibliographies), and authors of several sections have also included citations for recent (2016 and 2017) publications. I extend my appreciation to 1) past and present members of the MBS, NABS and SFS Literature Review and Publications Committees and the Society presidents and treasurer Mike Swift for their support, 2) librarians Elizabeth Wohlgemuth (Illinois Natural History Survey) and Susan Braxton (Prairie Research Institute) for their assistance in accessing journals, other publications, bibliographic search engines and abstracting resources, and rare publications critical to the compilation and verification of citations included herein, and 3) Kristi L.
