In 2010, a new proposed classification system for the Bivalvia was published in by Bieler, Carter & Coan, revising the classification of the Bivalvia.
[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] Lucinoida (now Lucinida) thus became an order of its own.
It includes the following two superfamilies:
*Superfamily:
Lucinoidea
**Family:
Lucinidae
** Family: †
Mactromyidae
** Family: †
Paracyclidae
*Superfamily:
Thyasiroidea
Thyasiridae is a family (biology), family of bivalve molluscs, including the cleft clams, in the order Lucinida.
