• Cleidothaeridae Hedley, 1918 (1870) [Bieler et al. (2010: 9, 28) states "When he established Cleidothaeridae, Hedley did not cite Chamostreidae, but Chamostrea is a synonym of Cleidothaerus. Cleidothaeridae is in prevailing usage; it is conserved under Art. 40.2 with the priority of Chamostreidae (1870)"].
