Synonyms[1]

  • Taraninae Casey, 1904
  • Thatcheriidae Powell, 1942

  • Andoniinae Vera-Pelaez, 2002

Bouchet, Kantor et al. elevated in 2011 the subfamily Raphitominae (which at that point had been placed in the family Conidae) to the rank of family. This was based on a cladistical analysis of shell morphology, radular characteristics, anatomical characters, and a dataset of molecular sequences of three gene fragments.[3]
