HOOKED NUTCLAM Leda hamata Carpenter, I R64c: 644; 1866: 2 10; L. h. limata Dall, 1016b
Shell elongate, with sharp, widely spaced commarginal ribs in some; others almost smooth. Rostrum very long, narrow, strongly recurved. Periostracum dull to silky. Escutcheon prominent. Length to 12 mm. Smooth specimens where given the name Leda hamata limata.
Forrester Island, Alaska (54.8°N) [SBMNH], to Isla Cedros, Baja California (27.9°N) [LACM], into the Golfo de California, and possibly as far south as Panama (USNM], but Panamic records are suspect (Olsson, 1961; 67-68), in 30 - 550 m. Also reported as early as the Pliocene in western North American.
