Cladogram A cladogram based on sequences of cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI) genes showing phylogenic relations of Peltospiridae.Chen C., Linse K., Roterman C. N., Copley J. T. & Rogers A. D. (2015). "A new genus of large hydrothermal vent‐endemic gastropod (Neomphalina: Peltospiridae)". Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 175(2), 319-335. . Lacunoides and Cyathermia are sometimes classified within Neomphalidae, but according to the COI gene analysis, they cluster within Peltospiridae.
