Bivalvia - Cardiida - Veneridae

Taxonomy
Cyprimeria was named by Conrad (1864) [Sepkoski's age data: K Apti T Eo]. It is not extant.

It was reranked as Meretrix (Cyprimeria) by Lombard (1930).

It was assigned to Meretrix by Lombard (1930); to Veneridae by Popenoe (1937); to Cyclininae by Vokes (1980), Pacaud and Le Renard (1995); and to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002).
