Source-derived summary

Pteria peasei, common name swift wing oyster, is a species of bivalve mollusc in the family Pteriidae.

Distribution

This species is present in the Indo-West Pacific from Myanmar to the Philippines; north to Japan and south to northern Australia.

Description

Shells of Pteria peasei can reach a length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in).

Editorial summary

“Pteria peasei” enters the record as species of mollusc. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Pteria, peasei and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA sound reference starting point where classification, measurement and the date of the underlying evidence remain visible. The current 53-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Pteria, peasei and species.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Pteria peasei” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Pteria, peasei and species provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q14196097. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.

Critical limits

Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
