Millard places Elachorbis and Tasmocrossea under Skeneidae. He placed
Coronadoa under Scissurellidae.

Dear Conchlers:
I need help placing these three genera in the proper family:
Elachorbis Iredale, 1915 (type: Cyclostrema tatei Angas)
Coronadoa Bartsch, 1946 (type: C. simonsae Bartsch, 1946)
Tasmocrossea Dell, 1952 (type: T. benthicola Dell, 1952)
I currently have them placed in the Turbinidae:Liottiinae.
Vaught, 1989:11, listed these genera under the Cyclostrematidae, a
polyphyletic group no longer used. It's genera have been moved
variously to the Turbinidae:Liottiinae, the Skeneidae, or the Rissoacean
family Vitrinellidae.
Hickman & McLean, 1990, did not list these genera in their review of the
Trochacea, which makes me suspect that they have been moved to the
Rissoacea.
Thanks in advance.
Yours, Andrew
