Patelloidea

Gastropoda

Taxonomy
Patellacea was named by Rafinesque (1815) [m. kosnik taxon no: 6117; elevated to superfamily from family by Thiele 1925]. It is extant.

It was corrected as Patelloidea by Stilwell et al. (2004), Bouchet et al. (2005), Bouchet et al. (2017), Wagner (2023).

It was assigned to Archaeogastropoda by Hickman (1980); to Docoglossa by Stilwell et al. (2004); to Patellida by Bouchet et al. (2017); and to Patellogastropoda by Bouchet et al. (2005), Wagner (2023).
