Siphonarioidea is a taxonomic superfamily of air-breathing sea snails or false limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Panpulmonata.

2005 taxonomy

Siphonarioidea was previously a superfamily in the informal group Basommatophora within the Pulmonata.[2]

2010 taxonomy

Jörger et al. (2010)[1] determined that the Basommatophora (Siphonarioidea, Amphiboloidea, and Hygrophila) was a polyphyletic group, and they moved the Siphonarioidea to the Panpulmonata.
