Seguenzioidea is a superfamily of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda.^{[2] [3]}

Description

Three Seguenziid gastropods

The distinctive characteristics of the shells of the Seguenzioidea are:

• the nacreous layer (a plesiomorphic character, i.e. a character state that a taxon is inferred to have been retained from its ancestors) This occurs also in the following families: Pleurotomariidae, Haliotidae, Turbinidae, Trochidae, and possibly in the Skeneidae.
• the protoconch has a trochoid shape.
• usually with one or more labral sinuses. This character is also found is several other superfamilies such as Neomphaloidea, Pleurotomarioidea, Fissurelloidea, and Scissurelloidea and in the families Siliquariidae and Turridae. Therefore, this characteristic is to be considered autapomorphic.
• a unique radular formula with an underlying rhipidoglossate ground plan.^[4]

Taxonomy

This superfamily was placed in part or in whole previously to 1979 either in the Archaeogastropoda near the superfamily Trochoidea or in the Caenogastropoda near the superfamily Stromboidea.^[5] In 1987 Salvini-Plawén and Haszprunar changed its status to the suborder Seguenziina, based on the radular formula that they considered to be intermediate between "rhipidoglossate" and "taenioglossate".^[6] At about the same time in 1987 Goryachev elevated the superfamily to ordinal status Seguenziiformes in the superorder Littorinimorpha, based on the taenioglossal radula.^[7]
