Tribe Colloniini Cossmann, 1917

Remark.—Recently Gründel (2008) included Colloniini Cossmann, 1917 as a tribe of Ataphrinae Cossmann, 1915 . Indeed some of the colloniins described below are quite similar to some Jurassic and Cretaceous ataphrins and they were preliminary identified by Jenkins et al. (2007a, b) and Kaim et al. (2008a) as such. The molecular evidence suggests ( Williams et al. 2008) that colloniins should be considered as a distinct superfamily of vetigastropods.
