The diversity and distribution of Hippodonta species on the coast of China are largely unknown due to limited investigations. In this paper, we report the detailed morphology and ultrastructure of two new species: H . nanjiensis sp. nov., collected from intertidal sandy sediments of Nanji Islands, the East China Sea and H . qingdaoensis sp. nov., collected from intertidal sandy sediments of the No. 1 Bathing Beach in Qingdao City, the Yellow Sea. Both species occur mainly in the middle part of the intertidal zone. H . nanjiensis possesses a unique large round central area. H . qingdaoensis differs from congeners in having a unique stria pattern, wherein the areolae in the middle transapical striae are less developed or absent on the primary side of the valve, and two areolae per stria are apparent under light microscopy (LM). This study expands our knowledge of Hippodonta diversity and distribution on the coast of China.
