Summary
Rangia cuneata originates from the Gulf of Mexico (HOPKINS & ANDREWS 1970). In 1960s it was recorded from the Chesapeake Bay on the Atlantic coast of North America and, in the late 1980s, spread to the Hudson River, New York (PFITZENMEYER & DROBECK 1964, ABBOTT 1974, WAKIDA-KUSUNOKE & MACKENZIE 2004). According to HOPKINS & ANDREWS (1970), R. cuneata may have occurred on the United States coast earlier, become extinct probably in the Pleistocene, and reappeared in the 1960s.
