Urocoptidae Cerionidae Epirobiidae

Urocoptoidea is a superfamily of land snails, gastropods in the suborder Helicina. ^[1]

Families

In 2005, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, the families Urocoptidae and Cerionidae were classified within the superfamily Orthalicoidea. ^[2]

In 2008, the superfamily Urocoptoidea was established by the malacologist Uit de Weerd, based on molecular phylogeny research. ^[3]

In 2012, Thompson ^[4] established a new family, the Epirobiidae.
