Family
Palaeozygopleuridae Horný, 1955
Remarks.
Since establishment of the family, its phylogenetic position has been unsettled (Horný 1955; Licharew 1970; Hoare & Sturgeon 1978; Hoare 1980; Batten 1985; Bandel 1991; Frýda & Bandel 1997; Nützel 1998; Blodgett
et al.
1999; Frýda 1999; Frýda & Blodgett 2004; Frýda
et al.
2008). They have been considered to be Archaeogastropoda, Caenogastropoda or Heterobranchia (see discussion below). The most discussed topic is their protoconch morphology and its interpretation (Frýda 2012). Here we follow the taxonomic position of the family
Palaeozygopleuridae
as presented by Bouchet
et al.
(2005).
