Solenidae, commonly called "razor shells", is a family of marine bivalve molluscs in the unassigned Euheterodonta.
Taxonomy
Originally, razor shells were all classified as Solenidae. Then, the genera were grouped into two sub-families, the Cultellinae and Soleninae. Later, the two subfamilies were recognized as separate families, with Cultellinae accepted as Pharidae and the family Solenidae containing only the two genera Solen and Solena.[1]
