Bathymodiolus is a genus of deep-sea mussels, marine bivalve molluscs in the family Mytilidae. Many of them contain intracellular chemoautotrophic bacterial symbionts.




Species


Modern (non-fossil) species within the genus Bathymodiolus include:

Bathymodiolus childressi Gustafson, Lutz, Turner & Vrijenhoek, 1998
Bathymodiolus japonicus Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994
Bathymodiolus marisindicus Hashimoto, 2001
Bathymodiolus platifrons Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994
Bathymodiolus septemdierum Hashimoto & Okutani, 1994
Bathymodiolus tangaroa Von Cossel & Marshall, 2003
Bathymodiolus thermophilus Kenk & Wilson, 1985
Bathymodiolus boomerang Cosel & Olu, 1998
There also are several fossil species, which are usually only tentatively assigned to hydrothermal vent and hydrocarbon seep-inhabiting mussel genera due to their conservative shell morphology and ongoing taxonomic revision of this group. They include:

Bathymodiolus (sensu lato) heretaunga Saether, Little, Campbell, Marshall, Collins & Alfaro, 2010
Bathymodiolus (sensu lato) inouei Amano & Jenkins, 2011
Bathymodiolus palmarensis Kiel, Campbell & Gaillard, 2010
