| Notes |
Classification: Classification based on Beu (in Beesley et al., 1998), differing from that in Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) in that Tonnidae and Cassidae are maintained as separate families. For an alternative classification, see Bandel & Riedel (1994) and Riedel (1995). [details] Nomenclature: Beu (1998, 2008) favours usage of Tonnoidea and Tonnidae rather than Cassoidea and Cassidae preferred by Riedel (1995). This is in agreement with the action of Thiele (1925) who placed Tonnidae and Cassidae under "stirps Tonnacea", therefore acting as first reviser under ICZN art. 24. [details] | |||||||||||||
