Bivalvia - Carditida - Carditidae

Taxonomy
Glans was named by Mühfeld (1811) [Sepkoski's age data: T Dani R Sepkoski's reference number: 914]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Venericardia (Glans) by Cossmann (1912); it was reranked as Cardita (Glans) by Marshall (1918), Woodring (1925), Vredenburg (1928) and Dey (1961); it was reranked as Beguina (Glans) by Rossi Ronchieti (1952).

It was assigned to Venericardia by Cossmann (1912); to Beguina by Rossi Ronchieti (1952); to Cardita by Marshall (1918), Woodring (1925), Vredenburg (1928) and Dey (1961); to Carditamerinae by Vokes (1980) and Freneix et al. (1988); to Carditidae by Marasti (1973), Moore (1992) and Lamprell and Whitehead (1992); and to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002).
