Higher systematics and evolutionary history of Protobranchia, a subclass of Bivalvia, have long been controversial due to paucity of prominent shell characters and difficulties in collecting live material for diverse taxa. Here, we evaluate the reliability of shell microstructure for protobranch higher systematics by reconstructing a molecular phylogeny of the subclass. Relationships were assessed using the nuclear (18S rRNA, 28S rRNA and histone H3) and mitochondrial (16S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1) gene sequences from 89 in-group species. Maximum likelihood reconstruction with the nuclear markers recognized five superfamilies (Nuculoidea, Solemyoidea, Manzanelloidea, Nuculanoidea and Sareptoidea) as the in-group clades of the monophyletic Protobranchia. Sareptoidea is herein redefined to comprise Sarepta and Setigloma in the sole family Sareptidae, whereas Pristigloma and its monotypic Pristiglomidae are transferred from this superfamily to Nuculanoidea, both in the order Nuculanida. Mapping of shell microstructure characters on the tree confirmed their conservativeness at superfamily level when only living species were taken into account. The Nuculoidea have shells with the outer prismatic and middle/inner nacreous structures; Solemyoidea are characterized by either the radially elongate simple prismatic structure or the reticulate structure in the outer shell layer; Manzanelloidea, Nuculanoidea and Sareptoidea have shells of homogeneous, fibrous prismatic and/or fine complex crossed lamellar structures, all of which lack large structural units. Our Bayesian time calibration, on the contrary, suggested frequent loss of nacre in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic history of Protobranchia, at least once each in Nuculoidea, Manzanelloidea, Solemyoidea and Sareptoidea in the Paleozoic, and perhaps multiple times in Nuculanoidea by the Mesozoic.
