Remarks

Bayer (1956: F203) created the family Paramuriceidae to replace the family Muriceidae Duchassaing and Michelotti, 1864 , because the type genus of the latter, Muricea Lamouroux, 1821 , was transferred to the family Plexauridae . Later, Bayer (1981c) united Paramuriceidae Bayer, 1956 and Plexauridae Gray, 1859a , although keeping the two groups in separate subfamilies; Paramuriceinae was considered a junior synonym of Stenogorgiinae ( Bayer 1981c) .
