†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 .
