This genus was traditionally considered to be part of the family
Strombidae, the true
conchs and their allies. However, recent morphological as well as molecular studies indicate that these ("shinbone shells") should be recognised as a separate family, the
Rostellariidae, and this is the way they are treated in the database
WoRMS.
