Genera

See text.

The Veneridae or venerids are a family of marine bivalve molluscs. Many of them are commonly known as clams, and they make up a significant part of the world fishery of clams. They include some well known species such as the hard clam or quahog, Mercenaria mercenaria.

There are over 500 living species of venerid. Their classification has been controversial at least since the 1930s. The most used classification is that of Keen (1969) which recognises 12 subfamilies, listed below. Some common species have been moved between genera, including genera in different subfamilies, by repeated attempts to bring order to the classification of the family, so changes in systematic name are frequently encountered. The characters used for classifying the group still tend to be superficial and to focus on external features especially those of the shell, so further reclassification is to be expected as current research in molecular systematics bears fruit.

Subfamilies according to Keen (1969)

  • Chioninae
  • Circinae
  • Clementinae
  • Cyclinae
  • Dosiniinae
  • Gemminae
  • Meretricinae
  • Pitarinae
  • Samaranginae
  • Sunettinae
  • Vapetinae
  • Venerinae
