Family
Coronulidae
Leach, 1817
(nom. transl.
Newman & Ross, 1976
[ex
Coronulidae
Pilsbry, 1916
: 268
(synonymy) pro Coronulidea (sic)
Leach, 1817
: 68])
Type
genus.
Coronula
Lamarck, 1802
: 464
; by original designation of
Leach (1817: 68)
.
Diagnosis.
Wall six-plated (R-CL1-CL2-C), relatively thick, mono-lamellar, or bi-lamellar when T-shaped flanges and longitudinal canals present; parietes without mid-rib; opercular plates reduced, tergum vestigial or absent, or tergum and scutum absent; apertural hood present.
Remarks.
Leach (1817)
included
Tubicinella
,
Coronula
and
Chelonibia
when he proposed this family, but did not specify the
type
genus. Since
Coronula
was the nominal genus upon which the family-group was based, it becomes,
ipso facto
, the
type
by original designation.
Chelonibia
has since been relegated to the
Chelonibiidae
. The
Coronulidae
is now recognized as including four subfamilies, the
Coronulinae
Leach, 1817
,
Cryptolepadinae
subfam
.,
nov
.
Tubicinellinae
subfam. nov.
and
Xenobalaninae
Gruvel, 1905
