Neolepetopsidae
Neolepetopsidae is a family (biology), family of small deep sea sea snails or true limpets, marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusks in the subclass Patellogastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). This family has no subfamilies. Etymology The name of the family Neolepetopsidae is composed of the prefix ''neo'', which means "new", and the word Lepetopsidae, which is the name of an extinct family of true limpets, from which the species within Neolepetopsidae probably evolved. Taxonomy Two Neolepetosidae species ''Eulepetopsis vitrea'' and ''Paralepetopsis floridensis'' were genetically analyzed by Harasewych & McArthur (2000),Harasewych M. G. & McArthur A. G. (2000).

Patellogastropoda
The Patellogastropoda, common name true limpets and historically called the Docoglossa, are members of a major phylogenetic group of marine (ocean), marine gastropods, treated by experts either as a clade or as a taxonomic Order (biology), order. The clade Patellogastropoda is deemed monophyletic based on phylogenetic analysis. Taxonomy Patellogastropoda was proposed by David R. Lindberg, 1986, as an order, and was later included in the subclass Eogastropoda Ponder & Lindberg, 1996. 2005 taxonomy Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005), Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 designated Patellogastropoda, true limpets, as a clade, rather than as a taxon, but within included superfamilies and families as listed below. Families that are exclusively fossil are indicated with a dagger †: * Superfamily Patelloidea ** Family Patellidae * Superfamily Nacelloidea ** Family Nacellidae * Superfamily Lottioidea ** Family Lottiidae ** Family Acmaeidae Forbes, 1850 *** subfamily Acmaeinae For ...
