Rotundaria succissa is a species of bivalve in the family Unionidae.
It is native to the United States , where it is endemic to the Apalachicolan Region of Alabama and Florida. Here, it is found in the Choctawhatchee, Escambia, and Yellow River systems. It is considered to be a somewhat "hardy" mussel in terms of tolerating poor water quality, and its populations appear to be stable.[2]
It was formerly classified under Quadrula, but in 2012 it was moved to Rotundaria based on genetic evidence.[3]
