 Comments
       
  Comment: Originally spelled Mölleriopsis, which is corrected per ICZN Art. 32.5.2.1 to Moelleriopsis (not Molleriopsis)  
    Variously placed in superfamily Seguenzioidea or in Skeneidae (see Hoffman et al., 2020:40). The narrowest taxonomic group including those family-group names in the taxonomy of Ponder et al. (2020) is the superorder Trochia, so it is tentatively placed there pending further published analyses
