SUBORDER SILESUNIONINA NOV.
Diagnosis: Freshwater unionoids with filibranch-type gills and presumably free-living larvae.
Remark: The defined suborder is apparently paraphyletic: it occupies a transitional position between the ancestral Trigoniida and more advanced members of the Unionida .
Families included: Trigonodidae Modell, 1942 (= Pachycardiidae Cox, 1961 ), possibly Anthracosiidae Amalitzky, 1898 , probably Unionellidae fam. nov., and Silesiunionidae fam. nov.
