Bivalves (group of clams, mussels, cockles, etc.) are members of the Mollusca phylum, widespread in Indonesian waters. Madura Island is one of the large islands in the eastern part of Java Island, Indonesia. The Zoologicum Bogoriense Museum has the authority to store scientific collections, thus the specimens stored in this museum can serve as identification references as well as provide data on the richness of bivalves in a particular area. The purpose of this study was to describe the richness of marine bivalves on Madura Island, Indonesia based on the collections of the Muzeum Zoologicum Bogoriense (MZB). This research method was insitu observational by examining a collection of bivalves in MZB until August 2017. The research data obtained were then analyzed descriptive-quantitatively. The results revealed that based on the collection of specimens of MZB, there were thirty-six species of marine bivalves belonging to fourteen bivalve families in Madura, namely Arcidae, Carditidae, Donacidae, Glycymerididae, Isognomonidae, Mactridae, Malleidae, Mytilidae, Pectinidae, Pinnidae, Psammobiidae, Pteriidae, Spondylidae and Veneridae. Field works need to be carried out to inventory the bivalves found on Madura Island.
