Tritonioidea is the only superfamily in the clade Dendronotida.

The taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi for the clade Dendronotida was largely based on the classification established by Boss in 1982,[2] who in turn based his conclusions on the study by Odhner in 1968.[3]

The study of Wägele and Willan, published in 2000,[4] concluded that Dendronotida is monophyletic, although this monophyly had been questioned, based on the wide variety in sperm morphology, in a paper by Healy & Willan in 1991.[5]

Taxonomy

Taxonomy in the clade Dendronotida is as follows:

Superfamily Tritonioidea

gollark: I decided that reloading it is probably okay in many circumstances and going to great effort to avoid it would be counterproductive.
gollark: * basically entire platforms at this point
gollark: It sounds like the sort of utility library thing which could plausibly be larger and more complex than my entire project.
gollark: Sounds cool.
gollark: I don't like infinite scroll because I end up getting stuck scrolling down constantly.
