Taxonomy
Rolán & Rubio (2002: 46) hold ''Discopsis'' as a valid genus, distinct from ''
Cochliolepis''
Stimpson, 1858, on the grounds that the latter belongs in the family
Vitrinellidae
Vitrinellidae is a family of very small and minute sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Truncatelloidea.MolluscaBase (2018). Vitrinellidae Bush, 1897. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: h ...

Tornidae. This should be reevaluated in the perspective that both families are considered synonyms. Adam & Knudsen (1969) may have been right in placing the West African species in ''Cochliolepis''.
