A new genus and species of freshwater mussels, Guiunio rarus Chen, Li, Dai & Wu, gen. et sp. nov. , is described from the Pearl River Basin in China based on comparative morphology molecular phylogeny. The taxon belongs to tribe Gonideini can be distinguished other genera by a unique combination characteristics: shell medium-sized, moderately thick, flat, long, sub-glossy, opaque; anterior small, rounded short; posterior extremely expanded, wide with an indistinct obtuse angle middle margin; papillae flap margin highly degraded. validity it further supported phylogenetic analysis COI 16S 28S sequences.
