Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.[2]

Argyropeza is the only extant genus in the Procerithiidae.

Taxonomy

The following three subfamilies are recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):

  • † Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[1]
  • † Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[1]
  • Cryptaulacinae Gründel, 1976[3] - include Argyropeza

2006 taxonomy

Bandel (2006)[4] described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.

  • Argyropezinae Bandel, 2006[4]
  • † Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906[4] - include 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]

Genera

Genera within the family v include:

Procerithiinae

  • Procerithium Cossmann, 1902 - type genus
  • Cryptaulax Tate, 1869 - type genus of the subfamily Cryptaulacinae, when considered valid.
    • Cryptaulax sakarahensis Bandel, 2006[4]

Paracerithiinae

  • Paracerithium Cossmann, 1902 - type genus of the subfamily Paracerithiinae
