Chilodontaidae is a taxonomic family of mostly small deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
Taxonomy[edit]
The family was previously in the superfamily Neritoidea in the order Neritopsina and the superorder Neritaemorphi.
2005 taxonomy[edit]
This family consists of three following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Chilodontainae Wenz, 1938
- Calliotropinae Hickman & McLean, 1990
- Cataeginae McLean & Quinn, 1987
2007 taxonomy[edit]
A molecular phylogeny-based taxonomy of the Seguenzioidea was published by Kano (2007).[1]
The family Chilodontidae Wenz, 1938 will be renamed because it is a homonym of the fish family Chilodontidae Eigenmann, 1912; (to be emended to Chilodontaidae by ICZN[2])
The subfamilies Calliotropinae Hickman & McLean, 1990 and Cataeginae McLean & Quinn, 1987 were raised to family levels as the Calliotropidae and the Cataegidae.
