Taxonomy
Rolán & Rubio (2002: 46) hold ''Discopsis'' as a valid genus, distinct from ''
Cochliolepis''
Stimpson, 1858, on the grounds that the latter belongs in the family
Vitrinellidae and the former in
Tornidae
Tornidae is a family of very small and minute sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Littorinimorpha. This family used to be known as the Vitrinellidae.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2014). Tornidae Sacco, 1896 (1884). A ...
. This should be reevaluated in the perspective that both families are considered synonyms. Adam & Knudsen (1969) may have been right in placing the West African species in ''Cochliolepis''.
