Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails in the subclass Caenogastropoda. [3] As currently defined, it is extinct, [1] [3] although it has been suggested to include the extant genus Argyropeza . [4]
No subfamilies are recognized in the MolluscaBase. [3]
The following three subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005): [5]
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 are: [3]
Sorbeoconcha is a taxonomic clade of snails, i.e. gastropods, mainly marine species with gills and opercula, within the clade Caenogastropoda.
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".
Rissoidae is a large family of very small and minute sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Rissooidea and the order Littorinimorpha.
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.
Eucyclidae is a family of gastropods in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Neritopsidae is a family of small sea snails and freshwater snails in the clade Cycloneritimorpha.
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 in the family Cerithiidae.
Campanilidae are a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Ampullinidae are a mostly extinct taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Caenogastropoda.
Pachychilidae, common name pachychilids, is a taxonomic family of freshwater snails, gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
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.
The Cimidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the infraclass Lower Heterobranchia.
This overview lists proposed changes in the taxonomy of gastropods at the family level and above since 2005, when the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) was published. In other words, these are recent updates in the way various groups of snails and slugs are classified.
Obtortionidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea, that is within the clade Cerithimorpha or in clade Sorbeoconcha.
Rostellariidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.
