Carditamera is a genus of molluscs in the family Carditidae.[1][2]
It is the type genus of the subfamily Carditamerinae. Byssomera is a junior synonym or subgenus of Carditamera but has sometimes been written as a subgenus of Cardita, due to its type species having been synonymised from Cardita (Byssomera) affinis to Carditamera (Byssomera) affinis.[3][4]
