Type species: Tellina flexuosa Montagu, 1803 ; Recent , North Sea .
Discussion.—A Recent molecular analysis using 18S and 28S rRNA sequences showed that Thyasira can be subdivided into two clades; the T. flexuosa and T. sarsi clades ( Taylor et al. 2007). Morphologically, the former clade is characterized by having an ovate shell and a deep sulcus in the posterior area while the latter has a subcircular shell as well as a shallow sulcus ( Oliver and Killeen 2002).
