Taxonomy
Originally, razor shells were all classified as Solenidae. Then, the genera were grouped into two sub-families, the Cultellinae and Soleninae. Later, the two subfamilies were recognized as separate families, with Cultellinae accepted as Pharidae and the family Solenidae containing only the two genera Solen and Solena.[1]
Genera
Genera in the family Solenidae include:
gollark: I think they mostly just require an employment contract.
gollark: That should mean it spread to/got developed in MORE places.
gollark: If you actually could get energy from water and nothing else (easily), the technology would be everywhere.

gollark: Apparently monitors (or monitor cables?) leak information a bit as radio, which you can pick up with SDRs and such.
