Genera
This family presently comprises less than 100[citation needed] recent and fossil species divided into seven genera: Amathina, Amathinoides, Carinorbis, Cyclothyca, Iselica, Leucotina and Phasianema.[citation needed]
Two additional genera, Faluniella and Plicifer may also be a part of Amathinidae:[citation needed]
- Faluniella Cossmann, 1921
Genera within the family Amathinidae include:
- Amathina Gray, 1842[5]
- Cyclothyca Stearns, 1891[6]
- Iselica Dall, 1918[7]
- Leucotina A. Adams, 1860[8]
- Monotygma G. B. Sowerby II, 1839
- Plicifer H. Adams, 1868
- † Raulinia Mayer, 1864
- Genera brought into synonymy
- Adelactaeon Cossmann, 1895: synonym of Leucotina A. Adams, 1860
- Amathinoides Sacco, 1896 † accepted as Clathrella Récluz, 1864 accepted as Carinorbis Conrad, 1862
- Clathrella Récluz, 1864 accepted as Carinorbis Conrad, 1862
- Isapis H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 accepted as Iselica Dall, 1918 (Invalid: junior homonym of Isapis Doubleday, 1847 [Lepidoptera]; Iselica is a replacement name)
- Myonia A. Adams, 1860: synonym of Leucotina A. Adams, 1860
Anatomy
The shells are usually flat without coiling. They usually have strong axial ribs. Ponder described giant neurons in the cerebral ganglion.
