Pharus legumen (also known as the bean razor clam or the bean solen), is a species of bivalve mollusc commonly found burrowed in the sand on lower shores and in the shallow sublittoral.

[1][2][3][4] Pharus legumen is up to 130mm long and has a characteristic bean-shaped shell.

[4] Pharus legumen is commonly found in the English Channel, in the north-east Atlantic and in the Mediterranean Sea.

[5] Pharus legumen is similar to other species of razor clam of the genus Ensis, Phaxas and Solen.

The key feature to identify it is the presence of a ligament in the middle third of the shell.
