Although its taxonomy is relatively well-resolved and it is consistently recovered as monophyletic in most phylogenies (Harper et al. 2006, Combosch et al. 2017, Machado and Passos 2022), the internal relationships between Cuspidariidae and other families of predatory bivalves (with or without a muscular septum) remain a subject of ongoing debate.
