The Ptenoglossa is an informal taxonomic group of sea snails.[2] This group was considered paraphyletic or polyphyletic by Ponder and Lindberg (1997) in their classification of gastropod molluscs.[3]
The database WoRMS considers this suborder as belonging to the order (unassigned Caenogastropoda) (temporary name).[4]
