Taxonomy
Antigona was named by Schumacher (1817) [Sepkoski's age data: Q Plei R Sepkoski's reference number: 1112]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Cytherea (Antigona) by Glenn (1904); it was reranked as Venus (Antigona) by Barrios (1960).

It was assigned to Cytherea by Glenn (1904); to Venus by Barrios (1960); to Venerinae by Vokes (1980); to Veneridae by Clark and Arnold (1923), Olsson (1931), Mukerjee (1939), Rivera (1957) and Lamprell and Whitehead (1992); and to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002).
