Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox

The Cerithioidea is a superfamily of marine, brackish water and freshwater gastropod containing more than 200 genera. The Cerithioidea are included unassigned in the subclass Caenogastropoda. The original name of this superfamily was Cerithiacea, in keeping with common superfamily endings at the time.

Ecology

Cerithioidea is a very diverse superfamily. Its species can be found worldwide mainly in tropic and subtropic seas on rocky intertidal shores, seagrass beds and algal fronds, but also in estuarine and freshwater habitats. The freshwater species are found on all continents, except Antarctica. They are dominant members of mangrove forests, estuarine mudflats, fast-flowing rivers and placid lakes.[1]

Fossil record

Their fossil record of this superfamily can be traced back as far as the early Triassic[2][3] but they began radiating mainly during the Cretaceous.[4]

Taxonomy

The Cerithioidea are presumed to be monophyletic (one lineage).[5] However the phylogenetic relationships between its families are still under investigation because mitochondrial recombinant DNA sequences failed to resolve these questions.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

2005 taxonomy

According to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005),[6] the following families are included in Cerithioidea:

(Extinct taxa indicated by a dagger, †.)

It is possible that a further detailed examination may show that the polyphyletic families Melanopsidae and Pleuroceridae are one family. There is also a close phylogenetic relationship between the families Modulidae and Potamididae and between the families Cerithiidae and Litiopidae.

2006 taxonomy

Bandel (2006)[2] made numerous changes in Cerithioidea. He classified superfamily Cerithioidea in the clade Cerithimorpha.[2]

Changes include:

superfamily Cerithioidea

  • family Bittiidae Cossmann, 1906 - consider Bittiidae in its own family level. It was as subfamily Bittiinae within Cerithiidae by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.
  • family † Maturifusidae - moved to Cerithioidea from Hypsogastropoda
  • family † Canterburyellidae - moved to Cerithioidea from unallocated Sorbeoconcha
  • family † Prisciphoridae - moved to Cerithioidea from unallocated Sorbeoconcha
  • family † Zardinellopsidae Bandel, 2006 - new family
  • family Pachymelaniidae - considered as valid family. It was as synonym of Thiaridae.
  • some Pyrguliferidae members (a synonym) are in Paludomidae and some are in ParamelaniidaeScript error: No such module "Unsubst". (instead of Thiaridae)
  • family Paramelaniidae at family level (instead of a synonym of Paludomidae)
  • and some moves to other taxa
