Family Siphonariidae |
Siphonarioidea is a taxonomic group of air-breathing sea snails or false limpets.
2005 taxonomy
Siphonarioidea was previously a superfamily in the informal group Basommatophora within the Pulmonata.[2]
2010 taxonomy
Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea and Amphiboloidea and Hygrophila) have been found polyphyletic and so Jörger et al. (2010)[1] have moved Siphonarioidea to Panpulmonata.
