Angarioidea is a superfamily of small to medium sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda. [1]

Taxonomy

The superfamily Angarioidea was created as a new superfamily by Williams et al. (2008). [2] The same suggest that something similar may be done in the future for Arene, but Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) note that Areneinae McLean, 2001, introduced in a congress abstract, is not an available family-level name. [1]

This superfamily consists of the two following families: [2]
