Taxonomy edit
1999 taxonomy edit
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 edit
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]
Genera edit
Genera within the family Muchisonellidae include:
- Subfamily Ebalinae Warén, 1995
- Subfamily Murchisonellinae T. L. Casey, 1904
- Henrya Bartsch, 1947[8]
- Koloonella Laseron, 1959
- Murchisonella Mörch, 1875 - type genus[2]
- Pseudoaclisina Yoo, 1994
- Genera brought into synonymy
