This aquatic bivalve mollusk is native to Tennessee and Virginia in the United States, where it occurs in the Duck and Powell Rivers. It is a federally listed endangered species. This mussel has been extirpated from the Elk River. There is still a population in the Powell River, and the population in the Duck River appears to be viable.
