picture info	Bivalve Bivalvia (), in previous centuries referred to as the Lamellibranchiata and Pelecypoda, is a class of marine and freshwater molluscs that have laterally compressed bodies enclosed by a shell consisting of two hinged parts. As a group, bivalves have no head and they lack some usual molluscan organs, like the radula and the odontophore. They include the clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and numerous other families that live in saltwater, as well as a number of families that live in freshwater. The majority are filter feeders. The gills have evolved into ctenidia, specialised organs for feeding and breathing. Most bivalves bury themselves in sediment, where they are relatively safe from predation. Others lie on the sea floor or attach themselves to rocks or other hard surfaces. Some bivalves, such as the scallops and file shells, can swim. The shipworms bore into wood, clay, or stone and live inside these substances. The shell of a bivalve is composed of calc ...

	Hyriidae Hyriidae is a taxonomic family of pearly freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve molluscs in the order Unionida. This family is native to South America, Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea. Like all members of that order, they go through a larval stage that is parasitic on fish (see glochidium). The classification recognized by Banarescu (1995) uses three subfamilies. This family contains eighteen genera. Subfamilies and genera Hyriinae Genera within the subfamily Hyriinae, from South America, include: * '' Paxyodon'' * '' Castalina'' * '' Chevronaias'' ; Tribe Castaliini * ''Castalia'' * '' Castaliella'' * '' Callonaia'' ; Tribe Hyriini * '' Prisodon'' * '' Triplodon'' ; Tribe Rhipidodontini * ''Diplodon'' Cucumerunioninae Genera within the subfamily Cucumerunioninae, from Australasia, include: * '' Echyridella'' * ''Cucumerunio'' * ''Hyridella'' * '' Virgus'' Velesunioninae Genera within the subfamily Velesunioninae, from Australasia, include: * '' Alathyria'' ''Alathyr ...

picture info	Cucumerunio Websteri ''Cucumerunio websteri'' is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusc in the family Hyriidae. Subspecies * ''Cucumerunio websteri websteri'' (Simpson, 1902) * '' Cucumerunio websteri delli'' McMichael & Hiscock, 1958 Description The specific name ''websteri'' is in honor of Reverend William Henry Webster (died 1931) of Wauiku, New Zealand, who have sent specimens to the National Museum of Natural History.
