Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Mollusca
Class: Gastropoda
Clade: Caenogastropoda
Clade: Sorbeoconcha
Superfamily: Cerithioidea
Family: Cerithiidae
Genus: Cerithidium
Monterosato, 1884
Type species
Cerithium submammillatum
de Rayneval & Ponzi, 1854
Synonyms[1]
  • Bittium (Cerithidium) Monterosato, 1884
  • Clathrofenella Kuroda & Habe, 1952

The genus has been used as valid for Indo-Pacific species following Hasegawa (1998), on the grounds that it is older than Clathrofenella Kuroda & Habe, 1952. However, the Mediterranean type species is a Bittium, for which reason this generic assignment should be revised. The opinion of Hasegawa (1998) and van Aartsen (2006) is followed here [1]
