Cypraeorbis
Taxonomy
Cypraeorbis was named by Conrad (1865) [Sepkoski's age data: T Eo-l T Mi-m Sepkoski's reference number: 121,1248]. It is the type genus of Cypraeorbinae.
It was reranked as Cypraea (Cypraeorbis) by Gardner (1947) and Gardner (1948).
It was assigned to Cypraea by Gardner (1947) and Gardner (1948); to Cypraeidae by Harris and Palmer (1947) and Petuch (1997); to Neotaenioglossa by Sepkoski (2002); to Cypraeinae by Dolin and Lozouet (2004); and to Cypraeorbinae by Schilder (1927), Garvie (1996) and Darragh (2011).
