Lucinidae

Belongs within: Heterodonta.
Contains: Leucosphaerinae, Pegophyseminae, Myrteinae, Codakiinae, Lucininae.

The Lucinidae are a family of cockle-like bivalves most noted for their symbiotic association with chemosynthetic bacteria that live within their gill filaments. They have a fossil record extending back to the Silurian but did not diversify until during the Mesozoic. Modern species are most diverse in the tropics and occupy depth ranges from the intertidal zone until about 2500 m (Taylor et al. 2011).
