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]
