Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails in the subclass Caenogastropoda. As currently defined, it is extinct, although it has been suggested to include the extant genus Argyropeza.

Taxonomy

No subfamilies are recognized in the MolluscaBase.

2005 taxonomy

The following three subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):

2006 taxonomy

Bandel (2006) described a new subfamily, Argyropezinae.

Bandel (2006) expressed doubts about the validity of Cryptaulacinae, because Cryptaulax and Procerithium may be based on the same species.
