Siphonarioidea

Siphonaria sipho, copyright G. & Ph. Poppe.

Belongs within: Heterobranchia.

The Siphonarioidea are a group of gastropods uniting the living Siphonariidae with the tentatively assigned fossil Acroreia. The Siphonariidae, false limpets, are a group of air-breathing limpet-like gastropods found in marine and brackish waters. A lateral pneumostome is present, its position marked by an inner groove on the shell and an interruption in the ring of muscle scars. Acroreia is a genus of smooth, thin-shelled limpets known from the Cretaceous and early Tertiary.
