Abstract
⺠Three pterioid families were paraphyletic based on molecular data. ⺠The monophyly of most genera was confirmed. ⺠The ancestors of pterioid bivalves were epifaunal on rocks. ⺠Epizoic life on sessile cnidarians had a single origin. ⺠Diversification of Pteria was facilitated by host diversification.
