Cuspidariidae is a family of small marine bivalve molluscs in the superfamily Cuspidarioidea.
Genera and species in the family Cuspidariidae:
The Buccinidae are a very large and diverse taxonomic family of large sea snails, often known as whelks or true whelks.
Nucula is a genus of very small saltwater clams. They are part of the family Nuculidae.
Limatula, the file shells or file clams, is a genus of marine bivalve molluscs in the family Limidae.
Philobryidae is a taxonomic family of very small equivalved triangular saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs, related to the ark clams and the bittersweets. Their shells have projecting umbones and are non-nacreous. The ligament of the hinge is either completely internal or only slightly external. They have only one adductor muscle scar on the inside of each of their shells as opposed to the more-common two. Species from this family are found in most seas, in shallow to moderately deep water. This family contains about sixty species in seven genera.
Malletiidae is a family of bivalves in the order Nuculanida.
Nuculanidae is a family of small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Nuculanida. Species in this family are found in all seas, from shallow to deep water.
Solariella is a genus of small to minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Solariellidae within the superfamily Trochoidea, the top snails, turban snails and their allies.
Galeommatidae is a family of small and very small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Galeommatida.

Crassatellidae is a family of small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs of the order Carditida.
Poromyidae is a family of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Anomalodesmata. The genus Dilemma, described in 2008, is remarkable for being a predator of copepods, which is very unusual for a sessile mollusc.
