Paphia euglypta (species of Venus clam)
Scientific name for a specific bivalve; used in biological contexts.
The Paphia euglypta is a type of bivalve that inhabits the waters around Japan.
Kanji form is rare; the word is usually written in kana.
The name likely derives from 簾 (すだれ, 'bamboo blind') and 貝 (かい, 'shellfish'), referring to the shell's resemblance to a bamboo blind, but the exact origin is uncertain.
