Tonnoidea in the World Register of Marine Species
The Tonnoidea are a superfamily of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the order Littorinimorpha.[1][2] This superfamily includes many very large species.
Nomenclature
Beu (1998, 2008) favours usage of Tonnoidea and Tonnidae rather than Cassoidea and Cassidae preferred by Riedel (1995). This is in agreement with the action of Thiele (1925) who placed Tonnidae and Cassidae under "stirps Tonnacea", therefore acting as first reviser under ICZN art. 24
Families
Families within the superfamily Tonnoidea include:[1]
Bursidae, the frog shells
Cassidae, the helmet shells and bonnet shells
Charoniidae
Cymatiidae
Laubierinidae
Personidae
Ranellidae, the tritons
Thalassocyonidae
Tonnidae, the tun shells
