The taxonomic term Bivalvia was first used by Linnaeus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae in 1758 to refer to animals having shells composed of two valves. [3] More recently, the class was known as Pelecypoda, meaning "axe-foot" (based on the shape of the foot of the animal when extended).
The 2010 taxonomy is known as the Taxonomy of the Bivalvia (Bouchet, Rocroi, Bieler, Carter & Coan, 2010) [citation needed]. The 2010 taxonomy was published as Nomenclator of Bivalve Families with a Classification of Bivalve Families. [1] This was a revised system for classifying bivalve mollusks such as clams, oysters, scallops, mussels and so on.

Anomalodesmata is an superorder of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs. [2] This grouping was formerly recognised as a taxonomic subclass . It is called a superorder in the current World Register of Marine Species , despite having no orders, to parallel it with sister taxon Imparidentia , which does have orders.
