Nacellidae
Nacellidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails or true limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the subclass Patellogastropoda.
Taxonomy
Nacellidae was the only family in the superfamily Nacelloidea as described by Bouchet & Rocroi,. However a molecular phylogenetic study of Patellogastropoda by Nakano & Ozawa found that Nacellidae was recovered within Lottioidea, as shown in the following cladogram:As a result Nacellidae was moved to Lottioidea in the taxonomic revision of Bouchet et al. More recently, a recent phylogenomic study found Nacellidae as a sister to Patellidae, which suggests that Nacellidae should be transferred to Patelloidea.
