The genus Alasmidonta currently contains 12 species with 3 species presumed extinct.
;
Six species of Alasmidonta occur in North Carolina, including the presumed extinct Alasmidonta
;
robusta. Tissue samples from all taxa of living Alasmidonta species were included in a test of the
;
monophyly of the genus and the relationships of the species using mitochondrial DNA sequences
;
from cytochrome oxidase c subunit 1 (COI) and NADH dehydrogenase subunit (ND1).
;
Alasmidonta (Prolasmidonta) heterodon and Alasmidonta (Pressodonta) viridis are significantly
;
different from the rest of Alasmidonta and the two subgenera are elevated to generic level.
;
Alasmidonta varicosa is split into two separate species as is A. viridis. Alasmidonta raveneliana
;
is represented by two separate conservation units corresponding to the French Broad and Little
;
Tennessee River drainages. Further work is needed to understand the variation in A. marginata
;
between the upper Mississippi River basin and the Ohio River drainage populations.
