Murchisonellidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Murchisonelloidea.[2][4]

Taxonomy

1999 taxonomy

Under the system according to Christoffer Schander, Van Aartsen & Corgan (1999),[5] there were five genera in the Ebalidae:

  • Ebala J. E. Gray, 1847
  • Bermudaclis Bartsch, 1947
  • Chesapeakella Campbell, 1993
  • Ebalina Thiele, 1929
  • Henrya Bartsch, 1947

2005 taxonomy

This family has no subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

This has been changed in 2013 into two subfamilies.[6]

Subfamily Ebalinae Warén, 1995
