LUCINIDAE: Anodontia (Anodontia) pila (Reeve, 1850) — Taylor, J.D. & Glover, E.A. 2005. Cryptic diversity of chemosymbiotic bivalves: a systematic revision of worldwide Anodontia (Mollusca: Bivalvia: Lucinidae). Systematics and Biodiversity 3(3): 281–338 (Anodontia (Anodontia) pila restricted to represent an Atlantic taxon; however, no comment was made about the identity of the taxon known as Anodontia (Anodontia) pila in Australia; Australian representatives are here referred to Anodontia (Anodontia) aff. pila)

LUCINIDAE: Lucina (Codakia) angela Melvill, 1899 [sometimes included in the Australian fauna but the name now applied to northern Indian Ocean records of Pillucina vietnamica, while previously considered to be a wide ranging Indo-west Pacific species, Taylor & Glover (2019) presented evidence suggesting P. vietnamica consisted of three separate species and applied the name R. angela to N Indian Ocean records.]

LUCINIDAE: Pillucina vietnamica Zorina, 1978 [previously considered to be a wide ranging Indo-west Pacific species, Taylor & Glover (2019) presented evidence suggesting P. vietnamica consisted of three separate species and applied the name R. munda to Australian records] — Taylor, J.D. & Glover, E.A. 2019.
