Gastropoda - Rissoidae

Taxonomy
Stosicia was named by Brusina (1870) [Sepkoski's age data: T Mi-l R Sepkoski's reference number: 650]. It is extant.

It was corrected as Stossichia by Harzhauser (2002); it was reranked as Zebina (Stossichia) by Mandic et al. (2002).

It was assigned to Rissooidea by Dockery (1993); to Zebina by Mandic et al. (2002); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Rissoidae by Ponder (1984), Harzhauser (2002), Rolan et al. (2009).
