†Onychochilidae is an extinct family of small, fossil, upper Cambrian to lower Devonian molluscs. They have hyperstrophically coiled shells which generally have smooth whorls and elongate apertures. They are commonly considered to be gastropods, i.e. sea snails. The Onychochilidae is included in the Macluritacea in the Treatise, Part I, 1960,〔Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Part I, Mollusca 1. R.C. Moore (ed) Geol. Soc. of America and Univ. Kansas Press, 1960〕 as part of the Archaeogastropoda where it is divided into two subfamilies, the Onychochilina for those with high basal spires, and the Scaevogyranae for those with low basal spires. Robert M. Linsely and William M. Kier, 1984 〔Linsely, R. M. & W.M Kier, 1984. The Paragastropoda: a proposal for a new class of Paleozoic Mollusca. Malacologia, v.25, no1, pp 241-254〕 reassigned the Onychochilidea to the Paragastropoda, a new class of molluscs proposed for gastropod-like forms which they interpreted as being untorted - that is viscerally not twisted. The Onychochilidae was at that time placed in the Onychochilacea, a superfamily included in a new order, the Hyperstophina, named for paragastropods with hyperstrophic to depressed-orthstrophic shells. Bouchet and Rocroi, 2005 〔Bouchet, P. & Rocroi, J., 2005. Classification and Nomenclator of Gastropod Families Malacologia v.47. no 1-2.〕 tentatively retained the Onychochilidae in the Gastropoda, including them along with the Clisospiridae in the superfamily Clisospiroidea, and added a third subfamily, the Hyperstropheminae, named for ''Hyperstrophema'' Horney, 1964, its sole known genus. ==References== * (Paleobiology database classification of the subfamilies and genera ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Onychochilidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
