In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published in by Bieler, Carter & Coan, revising the classification of the Bivalvia.[2] Lucinoida (now Lucinida) thus became an order of its own.[1] It includes the following two superfamilies:

gollark: Unless you can't, which is possible.
gollark: You can attend via chat interface.
gollark: I should really preconfigure something like this for *my* future birthday parties.
