Species

According to WoRMS, this genus has got only seven extant species,[4] in additional to five fossil species listed in fossilworks,[1] they are listed as below:

  • Periglypta albocancellata (M. Huber, 2010)
  • Periglypta caesarina dagger
  • Periglypta caribbeana dagger
  • Periglypta corbis (Lamarck, 1818)
  • Periglypta crispata (Deshayes, 1854)
  • Periglypta listeri (J.E. Gray, 1838) — Princess Venus clam
  • Periglypta multicostata (G. B. Sowerby I, 1835)
  • Periglypta puerpera (Linnaeus, 1771)
  • Periglypta reticulata (Linnaeus, 1758)[5]
  • Periglypta tamiamensis dagger
  • Periglypta tarquinia dagger
  • Periglypta weegeeree dagger

The following two species was listed under Periglypta but now listed under Antigona:[4]

  • Periglypta chemnitzi (Hanley, 1845)[5] is now Antigona chemnitzii (Hanley, 1845)
  • Periglypta sowerbyi (Deshayes, 1853) is now Antigona sowerbyi (Deshayes, 1854)

In additional, Markus Huber (2010) mentioned that Periglypta and Antigona are synonyms, but Chen et al. (2011) rejected this opinion.[4][6]
