Dilemma is a genus of marine bivalves of the family Poromyidae. The genus is remarkable for encompassing predators of isopods and ostracods, unusual for sessile molluscs. One species is known from the western Atlantic Ocean and three from across the Pacific. Specimens have been found at depths between 229–961 m (751–3,153 ft). The name of the genus refers to the dilemma that the author of the new genus faced while diagnosing it.

Grippina is a genus of bivalves in the family Spheniopsidae which currently consists of nine species. It was first described by William Dall in 1912 with G. californica recorded in the eastern Pacific Ocean near California, US. Their habitat spans across the Pacific Ocean, mainly centering around Australia and New Zealand, though G. coronata was found in 2015 off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the western Atlantic Ocean. Bivalves in the genus Grippina are part of the order Anomalodesmata, also known as septibranchs, which are carnivorous clams. They use their inhalant siphons, adapted with sensory papillae to detect motion, to inhale microscopic crustaceans such as ostracods. As sessile, benthic predators, they lie in wait under sand and stick their siphons out into open water to feed. Their shells range in size from about 2–5 millimeters.
