Type species: Isorropodon perplexum Sturany, 1896 , by monotypy; Recent , eastern Mediterranean Sea .
Remarks.—The differences between Isorropodon and Vesicomya were defined as follows: “ Isorropodon is distinguished from Vesicomya by the much larger and more oval to oval-oblong shell, the poorly developed to missing lunular incision and the smooth valve margins without an incision. Vesicomya is smaller, the shells are very tumid to nearly spherical, the general hinge teeth configuration however is the same in both” ( Cosel and Salas 2001).
