Pseudomiltha

Bivalvia - Lucinida - Lucinidae

Taxonomy
Pseudomiltha was named by Fischer (1887) [Sepkoski's age data: T Eo-l T Plio Sepkoski's reference number: 914]. Its type is Lucina gigantea.

It was reranked as Phacoides (Pseudomiltha) by Glenn (1904) and Olsson (1914); it was reranked as Lucina (Pseudomiltha) by Cox (1931).

It was assigned to Phacoides by Glenn (1904) and Olsson (1914); to Lucina by Cox (1931); to Milthinae by Cox et al. (1969) and Iqbal (1973); to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Lucinidae by Taylor and Glover (2009).
