Taxonomy

The content of Barentsiidae (sometimes without the genus Urnatella ^[2] ) is sometimes classified as part of the family Pedicellinidae. ^{[3] [4]}

The genus Urnatella (here classified in Barentsiidae) has been classified by some authors as the only genus of a separate family called Urnatellidae since the mid-19th century. Since 1915, the genus Loxosomatoides (today usually classified in Pedicellinidae sensu stricto) has been added to the family Urnatellidae by some authors. ^{[5] [1] [6]}
