2017 Taxonomy

According to the 2017 Taxonomy, Retusidae no longer belongs to Cephalaspidean and Cylichnidae is promoted to Cylichnoidea.[4] In additional to the re-established Scaphandridae and Laonidae, as well as the three new families established in 2015 by Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias,[5] the nine families of Philinoidea As of 19 February 2018 are as follows:

  • Family Aglajidae Pilsbry, 1895 (1847)
  • Family Alacuppidae Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias, 2015[5]
  • Family Colpodaspididae Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias, 2015[5]
  • Family Gastropteridae Swainson, 1840
  • Family Laonidae Pruvot-Fol, 1954[5]
  • Family Philinidae Gray, 1850 (1815)
  • Family Philinoglossidae Hertling, 1932
  • Family Philinorbidae Oskars, Bouchet & Malaquias, 2015[5]
  • Family Scaphandridae G.O. Sars, 1878[5]

gollark: Why spend any money on RAM when you can just get 1GB and use swap?
gollark: I mean, either that or because it's costly to get ancient enough components.
gollark: Because they can sell them at that price, obviously.
gollark: It's just an odd question.
