Abstract
Bivaled mollusks of the superfamily Unionacea (Order Schizodonta) are represented in North America by three families, 46 genera, and, as treated in this key, 221 species. The primitive Margaritiferidae are represented by two genera and four species, the Amblemidae by eight genera and 25 species, and the very large family Unionidae by 36 genera and 192 species. Systematics are not well worked out in many groups, which makes a definitive listing of species somewhat arbitrary at this time. The present key in most instances reflects a conservative approach to the lower taxa and, although it omits many nominal species of doubtful validity, the key nevertheless represents most of the biological species. Characters of soft anatomy are used to separate the families, subfamilies and, in a few cases, genera. Species are separated by shell characters. The main feature of this publication is an illustrated taxonomic key using both soft anatomy and shell characters for the identification of the North American Unionacea.
