Urocoptoidea is a superfamily of land snails, gastropods in the suborder Helicina.

Families

In 2005, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, the families Urocoptidae and Cerionidae were classified within the superfamily Orthalicoidea.

In 2008, the superfamily Urocoptoidea was established by the malacologist Uit de Weerd, based on molecular phylogeny research.

In 2012, Thompson established a new family, the Epirobiidae.
