Name
Neritopsidae Gray, 1847

Neritopsidae is a family of small sea snails and freshwater snails in the clade Cycloneritimorpha (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

The great majority of species within this family are only known as fossils. The few species which are extant are sometimes termed "living fossils".[1]
Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy

This family consists of three following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):

Neritopsinae Gray, 1847
† Naticopsinae Waagen, 1880 - synonym: Hologyridae Kittl, 1899
† Paffrathiinae Heidelberg, 2001

2007 taxonomy

Bandel (2007)[2] have established two new subfamilies. But he recognizes Naticopsinae at family level as Naticopsidae with newly created subfamilies in it.[2]

Neritopsinae Gray, 1847
† Paffrathiinae Heidelberg, 2001 - to be clarified if Bandel recognized this family.[clarification needed] It is not mentioned in his work Bandel (2007).[2]
† Cassianopsinae Bandel, 2007[2]
† Colubrellopsinae Bandel, 2007[2]

Genera
