Neolepetopsidae McLean, 1990

Rank: Family
Taxon Status: accepted
note: The distinctiveness of the radula, which seems to have been the main reason for a superfamily level for this group (McLean 1990b), seems to be an apomorphy. Fretter (1990) considered neolepetopsids closer to Acmaeidae than to other patellogastropod limpet
