Verrucidae DARWIN 1854
Description
†FAMILY VERRUCIDAE DARWIN, 1854
Diagnosis: Verrucomorpha, in which the rostrum and carina articulate; monophyletic in molecular analyses.
Comment: The asymmetry evolved separately both from that found in the Neoverrucidae and in the extinct Proverruca. Gale (2014b) traced the origin back to the Cretaceous Eoverruca.
