Bathytormus

Bivalvia - Carditida - Crassatellidae

Taxonomy
Bathytormus was named by Stewart (1930) [Sepkoski's age data: K Camp R Sepkoski's reference number: 914]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Crassatella (Bathytormus) by Glibert and Van de Poel (1970) and Gliozzi and Malatesta (1983).

It was assigned to Crassatellidae by Woodring (1982); to Crassatella by Glibert and Van de Poel (1970) and Gliozzi and Malatesta (1983); to Crassatellinae by Vokes (1980) and Wingard (1993); and to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002).
