Trochoidea (Trochida) in the World Register of Marine Species

Trochoidea is a superfamily of small to very large vetigastropod sea snails with gills and an operculum.[2] Species within this superfamily have nacre as the inner shell layer. The families within this superfamily include the Trochidae, the top snails. This superfamily is the largest vetigastropodan superfamily, containing more than 2,000 species.[3]

This taxon is not the same as a pulmonate land snail genus which is spelled the same way: Trochoidea (genus).

Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy

This superfamily consisted of nine following families (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):

Trochidae Rafinesque, 1815
Calliostomatidae Thiele, 1924 (1847)
† Elasmonematidae Knight, 1956
† Eucochlidae Bandel, 2002
† Microdomatidae Wenz, 1938
† Proconulidae Cox, 1960
Solariellidae Powell, 1951 - synonym: Minoliinae Kuroda, Habe & Oyama, 1971
† Tychobraheidae Horný, 1992
† Velainellidae Vasseur, 1880

2017 taxonomy

Williams et al. (2008)[4] have made further refinements to the taxonomy of Trochoidea. The revised taxonomy as defined by Bouchet et al. (2017) resulted in the following families.[5] The fossil families, tentatively included in this list, are based on Tracey et al. (1993) [6]

Angariidae Gray, 1857
† Anomphalidae Wenz, 1938
† Araeonematidae Nützel, 2012
Areneidae McLean, 2012
Calliostomatidae Thiele, 1924 (1847)
Colloniidae Cossmann, 1917
Conradiidae Golikov & Starobogatov, 1987
† Elasmonematidae Knight, 1956
† Epulotrochidae Gründel, Keupp & Lang, 2017
† Eucochlidae Bandel, 2002
Liotiidae Gray, 1850
Margaritidae Thiele, 1924
†Metriomphalidae Gründel, Keupp & Lang, 2017
† Microdomatidae Wenz, 1938
†Nododelphinulidae Cox, 1960
Phasianellidae Swainson, 1840
† Proconulidae Cox, 1960
† Sclarotrardidae Gründel, Keupp & Lang, 2017
Skeneidae Clark W., 1851
Solariellidae Powell, 1951
Tegulidae Kuroda, Habe & Oyama, 1971
Trochidae Rafinesque, 1815
Turbinidae Rafinesque, 1815
† Tychobraheidae Horný, 1992
† Velainellidae Vasseur, 1880

Unassigned to a family:

Margarella Thiele, 1893 - Margarella rosea belongs to Cantharidinae,[7] but Margarella antarctica belongs to Calliostomatidae/Thysanodontinae as Carinastele antarctica.[7]
