Murchisonellidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Murchisonelloidea.[2][4]
Taxonomy
1999 taxonomy
Under the system according to Christoffer Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999),[5] there were five genera in the Ebalidae:
Ebala J. E. Gray, 1847
Bermudaclis Bartsch, 1947
Chesapeakella Campbell, 1993
Ebalina Thiele, 1929
Henrya Bartsch, 1947
2005 taxonomy
This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
This has been changed in 2013 into two subfamilies.[6]
