Cerithiimorpha
The Cerithiimorpha was a suborder of marine gastropods within the Sorbeoconcha.[1] This taxon is no longer valid according to the current taxonomy of Bouchet and Rocroi.[2]
The previous classification system was as follows:
- subclassis = Orthogastropoda
- infraclassis = Apogastropoda
- superordo = Caenogastropoda
- ordo = Sorbeoconcha
- subordo = Cerithiimorpha
