Quadrula intermedia és una espècie de mol·lusc bivalve pertanyent a la família Unionidae.

• És de mida mitjana i amb la closca de color groc verdós o groguenc que s'enfosqueix amb l'edat.^[2]

Viu en aiguamolls, rius i rierols (incloent-hi cascades)^[1] que tinguin fons de sorra i/o grava.^[3]

Es troba als Estats Units: Alabama, Tennessee i Virgínia.^[4][1]

S'ha extingit en gairebé tota la seua àrea de distribució original i és molt a prop de l'extinció, ja que pateix una contínua degradació del seu hàbitat i la contaminació de l'aigua.^[2]
