Hyriidae
Hyriidae is a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic family (biology), family of pearly freshwater mussels, aquatic animal, 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 (bivalve), 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 Velesunion ...

Unionida
Unionida is a monophyletic order (biology), order of freshwater mussels, aquatic animal, 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 siphon (mollusc), siphons too short to permit the animal to live deeply buried in sediment. Morphology The shells of these mussels are variable in shape, but usually equivalve and elongate. They have solid, nacreous valves with a pearly interior, radial sculpture, and an entire pallial line. Evolutionary history Although some fossil freshwater bivalves ...
