Architectibranchia is a clade of marine snails, gastropod mollusks.

It has been originally established containing the superfamilies Acteonoidea, Ringiculoidea, and Diaphanoidea.[2][3]

2005 taxonomy

Architectibranchia has not been used in the taxonomy by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)[2] and this taxon name has been listed as an available name.[2]

2009 taxonomy

Clade Architectibranchia has been reinstated by Malaquias et al. in 2009[4] and they have limited the taxon to Acteonoidea and Ringiculoidea.[3]

There are five[4] families within the clade Architectibranchia and they include:

2010 taxonomy

Taxon Architectibranchia is not expicitely mentioned in the molecular analysis by Jörger et al. (2010).[5] Some of its members has been included: Acteonoidea have been moved to Lower Heterobranchia.[5]
