There are two families in this superfamily, which is listed as the only superfamily in the clade Umbraculida within the informal group Opisthobranchia in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005).[2]
Taxonomy
editA study by Grande et al., published in 2004, concluded that Umbraculoidea was a sister clade to the Cephalaspidea (Acteonoidea excluded).[3]
2005 taxonomy
editUmbraculoidea contains two families:
- Family Umbraculidae
- Family Tylodinidae
2010 taxonomy
editJörger et al. (2010)[1] moved Umbraculoidea to the Euopisthobranchia.
