Trochacea (suffix -oidea mandatory for a superfamily name following current ICZN art. 29.2.)
TurbinoideaRafinesque, 1815
Trochoidea is asuperfamily of small to very largevetigastropodsea snails withgills and anoperculum.[2] Species within this superfamily havenacre as the inner shell layer. The families within this superfamily include theTrochidae, the top snails. This superfamily is the largest vetigastropodan superfamily, containing more than 2,000 species.[3]
Williamset al. (2008)[4] have made further refinements to the taxonomy of Trochoidea. The revised taxonomy as defined by Bouchet et al. (2017) resulted in the following families.[5] The fossil families, tentatively included in this list, are based on Traceyet al. (1993)[6]
