Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails in the subclass Caenogastropoda. [3] As currently defined, it is extinct, [1] [3] although it has been suggested to include the extant genus Argyropeza. [4]
No subfamilies are recognized in the MolluscaBase. [3]
The following three subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005): [5]
Bandel (2006) [4] described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.
Bandel (2006) [4] expressed doubts about the validity of Cryptaulacinae, because Cryptaulax and Procerithium may be based on the same species. [4]
Genera within the family are: [3]
