Name

Nuculida Dall, 1889
Synonyms

Nuculacea Dall, 1889: 450, 460 [original spelling, as suborder]
Nuculoida — Newell, 1965: 15 [emmended as order]
Nuculida — Scarlato & Starobogatov, 1979 [emmended spelling]

Nomenclatural note: The ordinal endings -ida and -oida have both been extensively employed in bivalve literature. WoRMS follow the suggested standardisation to -ida as used in the bivalve classifications by Scarlato & Starobogatov (1979), Bieler et al. (2010, 2014) and Carter et al. (2011), among others.

Nuculida is an order of small saltwater clams, marine bivalve mollusks, within the subclass Protobranchia. "Nuculida" is sometimes spelled "Nuculoida". This order contains two families, the extant Nuculidae and the extinct Praenuculidae.[1] Clams in the family Nuculidae are commonly known as nut clams.
