title: [A lengthy discussion concerning the composition of the Genus Margaritifera Schum., 1915 (Mollusca, Bivalvia)].
abstract: The arguments given by Bolotov et al. (Ivz. Ross. Akad. Nauk, Ser. Biol., 2013, no. 2, pp. 245-256) were shown to be invalid because the allometric growth of mollusks was not taken into account.
