2007 taxonomy
Bandel (2007)[2] have established two new subfamilies. But he recognizes Naticopsinae at family level as Naticopsidae with newly created subfamilies in it.[2]
Neritopsinae Gray, 1847
† Paffrathiinae Heidelberg, 2001 - to be clarified if Bandel recognized this family.[ clarification needed ] It is not mentioned in his work Bandel (2007).[2]
