†FAMILY NEOLEPADIDAE YAMAGUCHI, NEWMAN & HASHIMOTO, 2004 (AMENDED)

Diagnosis: Eight-plated capitulum comprising two scuta, two terga, two upper latera, a carina and a rostrum. The large rostrum articulates with the rostral margin of the scutum, and the carina with the lower carinal margin of the tergum.

Comment: The number of shell plates has evolved secondarily from forms with additional lateral plates. In the amended diagnosis, the family does not include Neoverruca and Imbricaverruca . Note that we do not here consider †† Litholepas klausreschi Nagler, Haug, Glenner & Buckeridge, 2017 as a member of this family.

† Ashinkailepas Yamaguchi, Newman & Hashimoto, 2004 (Pleistocene–Recent) (three species)

Leucolepas Southward & Jones, 2003 (one species)

Neolepas Newman, 1979 (three species)

†† Stipilepas Carriol, 2016 (Eocene) (one species)

Vulcanolepas Southward & Jones, 2003 (five species)
