The Bivalvia family Placunidae Rafinesque, 1815 in India is reviewed in this paper based on previous literature and records. Additionally, the species Placuna quadrangula is described from the Indian sub-continent. Being an economically important family in this geographic region, this paper can be regarded as a baseline for further ecological, management and policy-related studies pertaining to Placunidae and other exploited species.
