Nacellidae

Nacellidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails or true limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the subclass Patellogastropoda.

Taxonomy

Nacellidae was the only family in the superfamily Nacelloidea as described by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005),. However a molecular phylogenetic study of Patellogastropoda by Nakano & Ozawa (2007) found that Nacellidae was recovered within Lottioidea, as shown in the following cladogram:

As a result Nacellidae was moved to Lottioidea in the taxonomic revision of Bouchet et al (2017). More recently, a recent phylogenomic study found Nacellidae as a sister to Patellidae, which suggests that Nacellidae should be transferred to Patelloidea.
