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]

  • Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[2]
  • Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[2]
  • Cryptaulacinae Gründel, 1976[6] – includes Argyropeza

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]
