Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Argyropeza is the only extant genus in the Procerithiidae.
Taxonomy
The following three subfamilies are recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005): † Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906 † Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906 Cryptaulacinae Gründel, 1976 - include Argyropeza
2006 taxonomy
Bandel (2006) described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.
Argyropezinae Bandel, 2006
† Procerithiinae Cossmann, 1906 - include Cryptaulax
† Paracerithiinae Cossmann, 1906
Bandel (2006) expressed doubts about the validity of Cryptaulacinae, because Cryptaulax and Procerithium may be based on the same species.
