It is the type genus of the subfamily Carditamerinae. Byssomera is a junior synonym or subgenus of Carditamera but has sometimes been written as a subgenus of Cardita, due to its type species having been synonymised from Cardita (Byssomera) affinis to Carditamera (Byssomera) affinis.[3][4]

gollark: Probably not that many? I'd assume lots of people photograph geese and then post it to social media or just store it locally. The dataset presumably only contains ones which someone submits.
gollark: Web crawlers and a goose classifier.
gollark: (I have VPSes with little storage and fast network connectivity, and my server with lots of storage but a slow network, but nothing with a fast network and lots of storage)
gollark: I might actually be able to store and index them, then.
