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 ...

Unionida
Unionida is a monophyletic order of freshwater mussels, aquatic bivalve molluscs.Bieler R., Carter J.G. & Coan E.V. (2010). ''Classification of Bivalve families''. pp. 113–133, in: Bouchet P. & Rocroi J.-P. (2010), ''Nomenclator of Bivalve Families''. Malacologia 52(2): 1–184. The order includes most of the larger freshwater mussels, including the freshwater pearl mussels. The most common families are the Unionidae and the Margaritiferidae. All have in common a larval stage that is temporarily parasitic on fish, nacreous shells, high in organic matter, that may crack upon drying out, and siphons too short to permit the animal to live deeply buried in sediment. Taxonomy Fossil evidence suggests a Permian origin for the order, making it incredibly ancient and a survivor of the Permian-Triassic mass extinction. Morphology The shells of these mussels are variable in shape, but usually equivalve and elongate. They have solid, nacreous valves with a pearly interior, radia ...
