Gastropoda - Opisthobranchia - Cavoliniidae

Taxonomy
Cavoliniidae was named by d'Orbigny (1842) [m. kosnik taxon no: 7754]. It is extant. Its type is Cavoliniinae.

It was misspelled as Cavolinidae by Gardner (1947), Squires (1989), Zorn (1997), Beesley (1998) and Todd (2001); it was corrected as Cavolinidae by Gardner (1947) and Wienrich and Janssen (2007).

It was assigned to Euthecosomata by Squires (1989); and to Thecosomata by Gardner (1947), Gardner (1947), Zorn (1997), Beesley (1998), Todd (2001) and Wienrich and Janssen (2007).
