Amauropsis
Taxonomy
Amauropsis was named by Mörch (1857) [Sepkoski's age data: K Maes R Sepkoski's reference number: 1061]. It is extant.
It was reranked as Natica (Amauropsis) by Penecke (1896); it was reranked as Ampullina (Amauropsis) by Dall (1909); it was reranked as Bulbus (Amauropsis) by Pan (1977).
It was assigned to Natica by Penecke (1896); to Ampullina by Dall (1909); to Gastropoda by Mansfield (1925); to Bulbus by Pan (1977); to Globulariinae by Kase (1984); to Naticidae by Packard (1922), Durham (1944), Zinsmeister (1983) and Squires and Demetrion (1992); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); to Polinicinae by Stilwell et al. (2004); and to Ampullospirinae by Marincovich (1977) and Pastorino (2005).
