Families

In 2005, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, the families Urocoptidae and Cerionidae were classified within the superfamily Orthalicoidea .[1]

In 2008, the superfamily Urocoptoidea was established by the malacologist Uit de Weerd, based on molecular phylogeny research.[2]

In 2012, Thompson[3] established a new family, the Epirobiidae.

Thus as of 2012, there are three families within the superfamily Urocoptoidea:[2][3]

gollark: I think it's where they take your stuff *out* of hatcheries.
gollark: If you influence then hatch an egg, the hatchling will keep the influence upon teleportation.If you influence an egg and teleport it back, the influence will be lost.
gollark: As a hatchling, yes; as an egg, no.
gollark: It's probably good for getting UVs, given that modern autorefreshers can do quite a lot of views a second (4 on mine) anyway.
gollark: I mean, if you can get the same amount of views in 1m instead of 2m it could allow for shorter experiments. Do those work better? We need to empirically study NDs.
