In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published in by Bieler, Carter & Coan, revising the classification of the Bivalvia.^[2] Lucinoida (now Lucinida) thus became an order of its own.^[1] It includes the following two superfamilies:

• Superfamily: Lucinoidea
  • Family: Lucinidae
  • Family: †Mactromyidae
  • Family: †Paracyclidae
