Runcinoidea is a taxonomic superfamily (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) or a clade Runcinaecea (according to the Malaquias et al. (2009) [1] ) of sea slugs, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Runcinida [2] [3]
Runcinoidea was recognized as a superfamily in the clade Cephalaspidea, within the informal group Opisthobranchia in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). [4]
They also recognized two families, Runcinidae and Ilbiidae. [4]
Malaquias et al. (2009) [1] reinstated Runcinacea as a valid taxon outside the Cephalaspidea.
They also recognized two families Runcinidae (with genus Runcina) and Ilbiidae, [1] but they did not mention superfamilies.
Jörger et al. 2010 [2] moved Runcinacea to the Euopisthobranchia.
Runcinoidea was classified in the order Runcinida by the revised classification of the Gastropoda. [5]
Families within the Runcinoidea include:
Heterobranchia, the heterobranchs, is a taxonomic clade of snails and slugs, which includes marine, aquatic, and terrestrial gastropod molluscs.
The order Cephalaspidea, also known as the headshield slugs and bubble snails, is a major taxon of sea slugs and bubble snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the larger clade Euopisthobranchia. Bubble shells is another common name for these families of marine gastropods, some of which have thin bubble-like shells. This clade contains more than 600 species.
Neritoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of mostly sea snails, nerites and their allies, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cycloneritida.
Amphibolidae is a family of air-breathing snails with opercula, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs.
Runcinidae is a family of medium-sized sea slugs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks. They are headshield slugs, in the superfamily Runcinoidea.
Pyramidelloidea is a superfamily of mostly very small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks and micromollusks within the clade Panpulmonata.
Daminilidae is an extinct family of fossil sea snails, true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Patellogastropoda. This family has no subfamilies.
Eucyclidae is a family of gastropods in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Cylichnidae, common name the "chalice bubble snails" or "canoe bubble snails" is a family of sea snails or bubble snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cylichnoidea.
Lower Heterobranchia, also known as the Allogastropoda, is a group of rather specialized, highly evolved sea slugs and sea snails, within the subclass Heterobranchia.
The Testacelloidea are a superfamily of air-breathing land snails and slugs, terrestrial gastropod molluscs in the suborder Helicina of the order Stylommatophora.
Umbraculoidea is a superfamily of unusual false limpets with a thin soft patelliform shell, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Umbraculida, within the clade Euopisthobranchia.
Olivoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of minute to medium-large predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Neogastropoda.
The Glacidorbidae is a taxonomic family of freshwater snails.
Hygrophila is a taxonomic superorder of air-breathing freshwater snails, aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusks within the clade Panpulmonata.
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.
Architectibranchia is a clade of marine snails, gastropod molluscs.
Turbinelloidea is a superfamily of sea snails in the order Neogastropoda. It comprises the following families:
Trochida is an order of small to very large vetigastropods. It includes recent and extinct sea snails with gills and an operculum.
Runcinida is a order of medium-sized sea slugs, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks.
