Taxonomy
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005[2] categorizes Pterothecidae in the superfamilia Bellerophontoidea within the Paleozoic molluscs of uncertain systematic position with isostrophically coiled shells (Gastropoda or Monoplacophora).
This family consists of the following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Pterothecinae P. Fischer, 1883
- Carinaropsinae Ulrich & Scofiled, 1897
- Pedasiolinae Wahlman, 1992
Genera
Genera in the family Pterothecidae include:
- Pterotheca Salter, 1852 - type genus of the family Pterothecidae
gollark: Basically anyone? It doesn't cause any real problems.
gollark: My favourite sorting algorithm is of course the one I designed, bubble bogosort, but I don't think anyone used that.
gollark: He would, since he is pretending to be someone else.
gollark: Anyway, #11 is obviously mine due to SQLite good.
gollark: It's not like you need to use the actual `input()` anywhere.
