Parabrachidontes leucostictus is a species of bivalve in the family Mytilidae.[2] The species was first scientifically described in 1897 by Carl Eduard von Martens as Modiola leucosticta.[1][2][3] This freshwater species is known from southern Thailand, Borneo (East Malaysia), and Sulawesi (Indonesia). It has been collected in both lakes and rivers[3][4] and can also occur in weakly brackish water (salinity <3 ‰).[4]
The shell is thin, elongate, and mytiliform, and can reach 30 mm (1.2 in) in length.[3]
