Angarioidea
Angarioidea is a superfamily of small to medium sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Taxonomy
The superfamily Angarioidea was created as a new superfamily by Williams et al.. The same suggest that something similar may be done in the future for Arene, but Bouchet & Rocroi note that Areneinae McLean, 2001, introduced in a congress abstract, is not an available family-level name.This superfamily consists of the two following families:
- Angariidae Gray, 1857 - only one genus Angaria Röding, 1798
- Areneidae - Areneidae is however not officially described as a taxon name. Areneidae is provisionally placed within the superfamily Angarioidea according to Williams et al.. It contains two genera: Arene Adams, 1845 and Cinysca Killburn, 1970.
