Panopea is a genus of large marine bivalve molluscs or clams in the family Hiatellidae.[1] There are 10 described species in Panopea.[1] Many of them are known under the common name geoduck.
Extant species
- Panopea abbreviata (Valenciennes, 1839) – southern geoduck
- Panopea australis (G.B. Sowerby I, 1833)
- Panopea bitruncata (Conrad, 1872)
- Panopea generosa Gould, 1850 – Pacific geoduck
- Panopea globosa Dall, 1898 – Cortes geoduck
- Panopea glycimeris (Born, 1778)
- Panopea japonica Adams, 1850 – Japanese geoduck[2]
- Panopea smithae Powell, 1950
- Panopea zelandica Quoy & Gaimard, 1835 – deepwater clam[3]
