Solecurtus

Bivalvia - Cardiida - Solecurtidae

Taxonomy

Solecurtus was named by Blainville (1824) [Sepkoski's age data: T Than-l R Sepkoski's reference number: 914]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Solen (Solecurtus) by Dana (1847).

It was assigned to Solen by Dana (1847); to Solenidae by Stanton (1895) and Vredenburg (1928); to Solecurtinae by Vokes (1980) and Woodring (1982); to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002); and to Solecurtidae by Marasti (1973), Lamprell and Whitehead (1992), Wienrich (1999) and Bouchet et al. (2010).

Synonyms

Psammosolen was named by Risso (1826).

It was synonymized subjectively with Solecurtus by Vokes (1980).
