Abstract
On the basis of previously published materials, which include data on the morphology of the shells of adult mollusks and larvae (glochidia), as well as the results of molecular phylogenetic studies, a critical analysis of the subspecies taxonomy of the Far Eastern Unionidae Rafinesque, 1820, namely, the subfamilies Unioninae Rafinesque, 1820 and Anodontinae Rafinesque, 1820, has been performed. It is noted that the previously described subfamily Nodulariinae Starobogatov et Zatrawkin, 1987 can be regarded as the tribe Nodulariini. The systematic position of all genera of Unionidae inhabiting the Russian Far East is discussed. An updated list of the genera, tribes, and subfamilies of Unionidae is given for this region.
