DEF

[Qualifie une] coquille bivalve dont les deux empreintes des muscles adducteurs sont de tailles différentes.

OBS

L'empreinte postérieure est généralement plus grande que l'empreinte antérieure.

OBS

On distingue les monomyaires (1 muscle) des dimyaires (muscles antérieurs et postérieurs). Les dimyaires se regroupent en isomyaires (= homomyaires : empreintes des muscles antérieur et postérieur identiques) et anisomyaires (= hétéromyaires : empreintes différentes). Chez les formes anisomyaires, l'empreinte du muscle postérieur est toujours la plus grosse.
