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.
Taxonomy[]
The following three subfamilies are recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):
2006 taxonomy[]
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[]
Genera within the family v include:
Procerithiinae
- † Cossmann, 1902 - type genus
- † Tate, 1869 - type genus of the subfamily Cryptaulacinae, when considered valid.
- Bandel, 2006[4]
Paracerithiinae
