[edit] 2005 taxonomy
The Urocoptidae family has been classified in the superfamily Orthalicoidea within the informal group Sigmurethra, itself belonging to the clade Stylommatophora within the clade Eupulmonata (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[3]
The family Urocoptidae consists of 7 subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Urocoptinae Pilsbry, 1898 (1868) - synonym: Cylindrellidae Tryon, 1868
- Apomatinae Paul, 1982
- Brachypodellinae H. B. Baker, 1956
- Eucalodiinae P. Fischer & Crosse, 1873
- Holospirinae Pilsbry, 1946
- Microceraminae Pilsbry, 1904 - synonyms: Johaniceraminae Jaume & de la Torre, 1972; Macroceraminae Jaume & de la Torre, 1972
- Tetrentodontinae Bartsch, 1943
[edit] 2008 taxonomy
Uit de Weerd (2008)[2] has moved the Urocoptidae to newly established superfamily Urocoptoidea based on molecular phylogeny research.[2]
A cladogram based on Bayesian analysis of sequences of 28S ribosomal RNA showing phylogenic relations of Urocoptoidea.[2] There are all up to 2008 genetically analyzed species of Urocoptidae and one species of Cerionidae marked in khaki color in the cladogram.[2]
