A major obstacle to phylogenetic and systematic study of the Class Bivalvia is inadequate knowledge of hundreds of obscure and poorly defined Paleozoic genera. This study provides redescriptions and modern illustrations of the type species for all Paleozoic nuculoid bivalve genera, which make up about 10 percent of the generic names proposed for Paleozoic bivalves. Subjective considerations, including subjective synonymies, are omitted in an attempt to provide an objective foundation of facts for all future evolutionary and systematic studies of nuculoid bivalves.
