Taxon Notes:	This family was previously included in the Mussidae, which is now regarded as restricted to the Atlantic, see Budd et al, 2012. This family now contains part of the family Pectiniidae; the remainder, including the type genus, are now in the family Merulinidae. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to family level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
