Neolepetopsoidea is the name of a taxonomic superfamily which is now considered to be a synonym of Lottioidea.[2] Previously Neolepetopsoidea was considered to be a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the clade Patellogastropoda.[3]
Families
Families within the superfamily Neolepetopsoidea according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) include:
- Family Neolepetopsidae McLean, 1990 – symmetrical limpets
- † Family Daminilidae Horný, 1961
- † Family Lepetopsidae McLean, 1990
(Families that are exclusively fossil are indicated with a dagger: †)
According to the World Register of Marine Species, Neolepetopsoidea was synonymized with Lottioidea, so all these three families were moved to the superfamily Lottioidea.[2]
