SUBFAMILY
CHARACTERS
. — Shells with hollow columella; whorls almost triangular in outline, siphonal notch located on acute extension of aperture. The columellar, parietal and palatal plaits are small. The umbilicus may be covered by a thin lamella.
REMARKS
This group is assigned to the
Ptygmatididae
because of the typical siphonal portion which protrudes at about 60° into the umbilicus. It has been named Diozoptyxisidae by
Pchelintsev (1965)
.
Diozoptyxis
Cossmann, 1907
belongs, in fact, to the Campaniloidea (see
Kollmann & Peza 1997
a;
Kollmann 2005
).
Ptygmatididae
species originally assigned to this family are allocated to the
Umboneinae
Lyssenko & Aliev, 1987
.
