Pteriomorphia
Taxonomy
Pteriomorphia was named by Beurlen (1944). It is extant.
It was reranked as the unranked clade Pteriomorphia by Giribet and Wheeler (2002) and Bieler and Mikkelsen (2006); it was reranked as the superorder Pteriomorphia by Bouchet et al. (2010); it was reranked as the infraclass Pteriomorphia by Carter et al. (2011) and Schnetler et al. (2024).
It was assigned to Pelecypoda by Ward and Blackwelder (1987); to Autolamellibranchiata by Giribet and Wheeler (2002) and Bieler and Mikkelsen (2006); to Bivalvia by Newell (1965), Adegoke (1977), Grant-Mackie (1978), Vokes (1980), Gliozzi and Malatesta (1983), Ward (1992), Cope (1997), Reid (1998), Squires (1999), Todd (2001), Spencer et al. (2004), Lin et al. (2007), Hikuroa and Grant-Mackie (2008), Scholz et al. (2008) and Waller (2011); to Autobranchia by Bouchet et al. (2010) and Carter et al. (2011); and to Autobranchia by Schnetler et al. (2024).
