- Taxon Notes
- This large group of small, mostly white, bivalves, has been regarded as a single family (Galeommatidae), but is currently divided into the four families recognised here. It is highly likely that as a better understanding of the varied species becomes available, there will be further changes to the groups' systematics. This code is provided for use when identification of a specimen to this level is sufficient, or when no further detail is available.
