Neolepetopsoidea is the name of a taxonomic superfamily which is now considered to be a synonym of Lottioidea. Previously Neolepetopsoidea was considered to be a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the clade Patellogastropoda.

Families

Families within the superfamily Neolepetopsoidea according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) include:

  • Family Neolepetopsidae McLean, 1990 - symmetrical limpets
  • † Family Daminilidae Horný, 1961
  • † Family Lepetopsidae McLean, 1990
  • (Families that are exclusively fossil are indicated with a dagger: †)

    According to the World Register of Marine Species, Neolepetopsoidea was synonymized with Lottioidea, so all these three families were moved to the superfamily Lottioidea.
