Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha. [2]
Argyropeza is the only extant genus in the Procerithiidae.
The following three subfamilies are recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):
Bandel (2006) [4] described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.
Bandel (2006) [4] expressed doubts about the validity of Cryptaulacinae, because Cryptaulax and Procerithium may be based on the same species. [4]
Genera within the family include:
Procerithiinae
Paracerithiinae
Argyropezinae
Neritoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of mostly sea snails, nerites and their allies, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cycloneritida.
Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum. The family Neritidae includes marine genera such as Nerita, marine and freshwater genera such as Neritina, and freshwater and brackish water genera such as Theodoxus.
The Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells, are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of species in the family Vermetidae are extremely irregular, and do not resemble the average snail shell, hence the common name "worm shells" or "worm snails".
Trochoidea is a superfamily of small to very large vetigastropod sea snails with gills and an operculum. Species within this superfamily have nacre as the inner shell layer. The families within this superfamily include the Trochidae, the top snails. This superfamily is the largest vetigastropodan superfamily, containing more than 2,000 species.
Cerithiidae, common name the cerithiids or ceriths, is a large family of medium-sized marine gastropods in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Trochaclididae, common name the false top snails, is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Neritopsidae is a family of small sea snails and freshwater snails in the clade Cycloneritimorpha.
Fasciolariidae is a family of small to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Buccinoidea. Species in Fasciolariidae are commonly known as tulip snails and spindle snails.
Aporrhaidae is a family of sea snails commonly called the "pelican's foot snails." The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 categorizes Aporrhaidae as marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Littorinimorpha.
The Cerithioidea is a superfamily of marine, brackish water and freshwater gastropod containing more than 200 genera. The Cerithoidea are included unassigned in the subclass Caenogastropoda. The original name of this superfamily was Cerithiacea, in keeping with common superfamily endings at the time.
Argyropeza is a genus of small deep-sea sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Procerithiidae.
Ampullinidae are a mostly extinct taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Caenogastropoda.
Seguenzioidea is a superfamily of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Diastomatidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea.
Litiopidae, common name litiopids, is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Modulidae, common name modulids, is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea.
† Prisciphoridae is an extinct family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
The Cimidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the infraclass Lower Heterobranchia.
Colloniidae is a family of small sea snails with calcareous opercula, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Rostellariidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.
