Pollicipedidae Leach 1817
Description
†FAMILY POLLICIPEDIDAE LEACH, 1817 (CRETACEOUS–RECENT)
Diagnosis: Small accessory lateral plates present on basal lateral surfaces of capitulum.
Comment: The family is possibly paraphyletic but convenient for housing the genera contained here. The selachian parasite Anelasma is by molecular analyses sister taxon to Capitulum mitella (Linnaeus, 1758) and placed here, but has secondarily lost all shell plates; the Anelasmatidae Darwin, 1852 is therefore abandoned.
Anelasma Darwin, 1852 (one species)
† Capitulum Gray, 1825 (two species) (Cretaceous–Recent)
† Pollicipes Leach, 1817 (four species) (Cretaceous–Recent)
