Pharus is a genus of medium-sized saltwater clams, littoral bivalve molluscs in the family Pharidae.MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Pharus Gray, 1840. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=744673 on 2022-01-04
Taxonomy
Established without included species (nomen nudum) by Gray, 1840 in "Synopsis of the contents of the British Museum, ed. 42, first printing". Hence, often attributed to Leach in Brown, 1844. However, Vokes (1980) cites Gray, 1840 ["Synopsis of the contents of the British Museum, ed. 42a, second printing"] as the first valid use.
Species
- Pharus chenui Cosel, 1993
