Gouldia

Bivalvia - Cardiida - Veneridae

Taxonomy
Gouldia was named by Adams (1847) [Sepkoski's age data: T Dani R Sepkoski's reference number: 914]. It is extant. Its type is Thetis cerina.

It was reranked as Circe (Gouldia) by Dall and Simpson (1901); it was reranked as Crassinella (Gouldia) by Anderson (1928); it was reranked as Gafrarium (Gouldia) by Dey (1961).

It was assigned to Circe by Dall and Simpson (1901); to Crassinella by Anderson (1928); to Gafrarium by Dey (1961); to Meretricinae by da Silva Forti (1969); to Circinae by Vokes (1980), Woodring (1982), Miller (1985); to Gafrariinae by Pacaud and Le Renard (1995); to Veneroida by Sepkoski (2002); to Veneridae by Marasti (1973), Farinati (1985), Ward and Blackwelder (1987), Lamprell and Healy (1998), Wienrich (1999), Todd (2001), Schneider et al. (2005); to Gouldiidae by Bouchet et al. (2010); and to Gouldiinae by Coan and Valentich-Scott (2012).
