Neolepetopsidae is a
mollusks in the subclass Patellogastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005
).
This family has no subfamilies.
Etymology
The name of the family Neolepetopsidae is composed of the prefix neo, which means "new", and the word
true limpets, from which the species within Neolepetopsidae probably evolved.[1]
Taxonomy
Two Neolepetosidae species 18S rDNA.[2]
Neolepetopsidae belongs to superfamily Neolepetopsoidea according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
Neolepetopsoidea was synonymized with Lottioidea so Neolepetopsidae was moved to superfamily Lottioidea in World Register of Marine Species.[3]
Distribution
The distribution of the Neolepetopsidae includes the Northeastern
Habitat
These limpets live in the
whale-fall habitats.[4]
