Taxonomy

The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005[4] categorizes Pelagiellidae in the superfamilia Pelagielloidea within the Paleozoic molluscs of uncertain systematic position. This family has no subfamilies.

According to P. Yu. Parkhaev, the family Pelagiellidae is in the order Pelagiellifomes MacKinnon, 1985 within the subclass Archaeobranchia Parkhaev, 2001, in the class Helcionelloida Peel, 1991.

Genera

Genera in the family Pelagiellidae include:

Pelagiella Matthew, 1895[5] - type genus of the family Pelagiellidae
- Pelagiella atlantoides - synonym: Cyrtolithes atlantoides
