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]

Taxonomy

[edit]

No subfamilies are recognized in the MolluscaBase.[3]

2005 taxonomy

[edit]

The following three subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):[5]

  • Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[2]
  • Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[2]
  • Cryptaulacinae Gründel, 1976[6] – includes Argyropeza

2006 taxonomy

[edit]

Bandel (2006)[4] described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.

  • Argyropezinae Bandel, 2006[4]
  • Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[4] – includes Cryptaulax[4]
  • Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[4]

Bandel (2006)[4] expressed doubts about the validity of Cryptaulacinae, because Cryptaulax and Procerithium may be based on the same species.[4]

Genera

[edit]

Genera within the family are:[3]
