Solenidae, commonly called "razor shells", is a family of marine bivalve molluscs in the unassigned Euheterodonta.
Taxonomy
Originally, razor shells were all classified as Solenidae. Then, the genera were grouped into two sub-families, the Cultellinae and Soleninae. Later, the two subfamilies were recognized as separate families, with Cultellinae accepted as Pharidae and the family Solenidae containing only the three genera Solen, Solena and Neosolen.{{cite web |url=http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=233 |title=WoRMS taxon details Solenidae Lamarck, 1809 |work=World Register of Marine Species |access-date=8 September 2023}}
