The Stromboidea, originally named the Strombacea by Rafinesque in 1815, is a superfamily of medium-sized to very large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Littorinimorpha.

[edit] Shell description
Shells in this superfamily attain a wide variety of lengths depending on the species (20-400 mm[2] from the smallest aporrhaids to the largest strombids).
-
Aporrhais pespelicani, a species in the family Aporrhaidae -
Eustrombus gigas, a species in the family Strombidae -
Struthiolaria papulosa, a species in the family Struthiolariidae -
Tibia insulaechorab, a species in the family Rostellariidae

[edit] Taxonomy
This superfamily was previously known as Strombacea. Prior to the recent ruling by the ICZN, many invertebrate superfamily names ended in the suffix -acea, or -aceae, not -oidea as now required according the ICZN article 29.2. The suffix -oidea used to be used for some subclasses and superorders, where it is stll found. In much of the older literature including Keen 1958, Moore et al. 1952, and the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, gastropod superfamilies are written with the suffix -acea.[3][4][5]
[edit] 2005 taxonomy
According to the classification proposed by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)[6], the families and subfamilies in the superfamily Stromboidea are as follows. Fossil families are marked with a dagger †.
- Aporrhaidae Gray, 1850 - the pelican's foot shells, synonyms: Aporrhaididae, Aporrhaiidae,
- Subfamily Aporrhainae Gray, 1850
- Subfamily Arrhoginae Popenoe, 1983
- † Subfamily Harpagodinae Pchelintsev, 1963
- † Subfamily Perissopterinae Korotkov, 1992
- † Subfamily Spinigerinae Korotkov, 1992 (inv.)
- † Colombellinidae P. Fischer, 1884
- † Pugnellidae Kiel & Bandel, 1999
- Seraphsidae Gray, 1853 - synonym: Terebellidae
- Strombidae Rafinesque, 1815 - the "true conchs"
- Struthiolariidae Gabb, 1868
- † Thersiteidae Savornin, 1915
- Tylostomatidae Stoliczka, 1868
[edit] 2008 taxonomy
Some authors[who?] consider[why?] two following families as separate families:
- Rimellidae
- Rostellariidae - synonym: Tibiidae
[edit] Cladogram
A cladogram, based on an extensive morpho-anatomical analysis of representatives of Aporrhaidae, Strombidae, Xenophoridae and Struthiolariidae was proposed by Simone (2005).[7] A simplified version of this analysis is represented bellow (Cuphosolenus and Aporrhais belongs to Aporrhaidae):
| Struthiolariidae |
