Notes  Nomenclature: Family names cited with two dates (the second one in parentheses) are those ruled by Article 40(2) of ICZN. "If ... a family-group name was replaced before 1961 because of the synonymy of the type genus, the replacement name is to be maintained if it is in prevailing usage. A name maintained by virtue of this Article retains its own author [and date, the first date cited] but takes the priority of the replaced name [the date cited in parentheses, here alluding to Doliidae]. Suter (1913) placed Dolium Lamarck, 1801 in synonymy of Tonna Brünnich, 1772 and replaced Doliidae Latreille, 1825 with the new name Tonnidae.  [details]

Remark: Doliidae given as synonym by Michel 1988 [details]

Taxonomy: Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) listed Cassidae as a synonym of Tonnidae Suter, 1913 (1825), following in this Riedel (1995). The two families are here maintained separate following Beu (2008: 272) [details]
