Taxonomy
No subfamilies are recognized in the MolluscaBase.[3]
2005 taxonomy
The following three subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):[5]
2006 taxonomy
Bandel (2006)[4] described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.
- Argyropezinae Bandel, 2006[4]
- †Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[4] – includes Cryptaulax[4]
- †Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[4]
Bandel (2006)[4] expressed doubts about the validity of Cryptaulacinae, because Cryptaulax and Procerithium may be based on the same species.[4]
