It was assigned to Crassatellitidae by Camacho (1957); to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002); to Crassatellinae by Vokes (1980), Dockery (1982), Gliozzi and Malatesta (1983), Squires (1984), Squires (1987), Tashiro (1988), Wingard (1993) and Moore (2003); and to Crassatellidae by Oostingh (1935), Turner (1938), Wozny (1977), Squires and Demetrion (1992), Frassinetti and Covacevich (1999) and Bouchet et al. (2010).
