Cabestana was named by Röding (1798) [Sepkoski's age data: T Ol-u R Sepkoski's reference number: 909 Sepkoski's age data: T Ol-u R Sepkoski's reference number: 909; m. kosnik taxon no: 7954]. It is extant.

It was reranked as Cymatium (Cabestana) by Glibert (1963).

It was assigned to Cymatium by Glibert (1963); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); and to Cymatiinae by Beu et al. (1990), Wilson (1993), Beu (2010) and Bouchet and Gofas (2011).

Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
A. G. Beu 2010Cabestana is a distinctive genus of Ranellidae, with a shell somewhat resembling those of species of Monoplex, but with a narrow central radular tooth, not the conspicuously wide one of Cymatium and closely related genera, and with a short, smooth, turbiniform protoconch as in many species of Sassia, not the tall, multiwhorled, planktotrophic protoconch of Cymatium. Cabestana seems much more nearly related to Sassia than to Cymatium.
