Carditidae is a family of marine bivalve clams of the order Carditida, which was long included in the Venerida. They are the type taxon of the superfamily Carditoidea.

Contents

Carditidae is a neglected and poorly classified family. [1] [2] It has six subfamilies recognised by the World Register of Marine Species, but the WoRMS has refrained from assigning contents to any family due to ambiguity and overlap in their definitions. [3] [2] Additionally, several genera have been or are still considered subgenera of other genera by some authors.

Genera

The genera of Carditidae recognised by the World Register of Marine Species as of April 2019 are:

Subfamilies

Chavan, 1969

The original six-subfamily system was first proposed by Chavan in 1969, contain the following genera (some of which are now synonyms or classified in other families): [1]

CarditamerinaeChavan, 1969

CarditesinaeChavan, 1969

CarditinaeFérussac, 1822

MiodomeridinaeChavan, 1969

ThecaliinaeDall, 1903

VenericardiinaeChavan, 1969

Perez, 2019

In 2019, D. E. Pérez proposed a seven-subfamily system for Carditidae. [1]

Carditamerinae

Carditinae

Miodomeridinae

PalaeocarditinaeChavan, 1969

ScalaricarditinaePérez, 2019

Thecaliinae

Venericardiinae

* = not yet recognised by the World Register of Marine Species.

In addition, Pérez proposed possible affiliations for the genera not included in his subfamilies: [1]

In some classifications prior to the 2000s, Carditidae used to contain a seventh subfamily Carditellinae, until it was reallocated to Condylocardiidae. [8]
