The Arcida is an
taxodont dentition, and a shell microstructure consisting of the outer crossed lamellar and inner complex crossed lamellar layers are defining characters of this order.[3]
Seven families are currently recognised within the order, including the well-known
Arcidae
.
Taxonomy
The order Arcida, as the suborder Arcacea, is included in the order
Taxodonta by R.C. Moore, 1952,[4]
characterised by simple hinge-line dentition consisting of small, numerous, similar hinge teeth, separate mantle lobes, poorly developed siphons, and filibranch gills.
In 2010, Bieler, Carter & Coan. Subtaxa included in the Arcida are shown below.
In 2016, the superfamilies of Arcida changed from two to three, with an additional superfamily of fossils only. The new taxonomy is as follows:[1][5]
- Superfamily Arcoidea Lamarck, 1809[6]
- Family ArcidaeLamarck, 1809
- Family Catamarcaiidae Cope, 2000†
- Family CucullaeidaeStewart, 1930
- Family Frejidae Ratter & Cope, 1998†
- Family Glycymerididae Dall, 1908 (1847)
- Family Noetiidae Stewart, 1930
- Family Parallelodontidae Dall, 1898
- Family
- Superfamily Glyptarcoidea Cope, 1996†:[7][8][9] with fossil species only.
- Family Glyptarcidae Cope, 1996†
- Family Pucamyidae Sánchez & Benedetto, 2007†
- Superfamily Limopsoidea Dall, 1895[10]
- Family Limopsidae Dall, 1895
- Family Philobryidae F. Bernard, 1897
