status

 

FAMILY NEOBRACHYLEPADIDAE NEWMAN & YAMAGUCHI, 1995 , AMENDED

Diagnosis: Symmetrical shell, carina and rostrum large, surrounded by imbricating plates. The family superficially resembles Brachylepadidae , but the scuta and terga are similar to those of Neoverruca .

Comment: The taxon falls within the Neolepadoidea from molecular analyses ( Herrera et al., 2015) and is here raised from subfamily to family level.
