  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Recent freshwater mussel research has resulted in rediscovery of several species presumed extinct. We report the rediscovery of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Amblema plicata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Say, 1817) in 2019 from the Choctawhatchee River, Florida, USA.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Amblema plicata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;has not been reported in the Choctawhatchee river basin since 1958, more than 61 years ago. This species was collected during the long-term monitoring of freshwater mussels in Florida streams. We provide genetic confirmation of our voucher identification using a DNA barcoding approach and discuss potential risks to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;A. plicata&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;populations in the Choctawhatchee river basin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
