Pseudozygopleura

Gastropoda - Pseudozygopleuridae

Taxonomy
Pseudozygopleura was named by Knight (1930) [Sepkoski's age data: C Vise-u P Dora Sepkoski's reference number: 797,1130]. It is the type genus of Pseudozygopleurinae.

It was reranked as Palaeostylus (Pseudozygopleura) by Knight et al. (1960).

It was assigned to Pseudozygopleurinae by Knight (1930); to Palaeostylus by Knight et al. (1960); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Pseudozygopleuridae by Nützel (1998), Bouchet et al. (2005) and Nützel and Ketwetsuriya (2016).
