'''Acmaeidae''' is a [[Family (taxonomy)|family]] of [[sea snail]]s, specifically true [[limpet]]s, [[marine (ocean)|marine]] [[gastropod]] [[mollusk]]s in the superfamily [[Lottioidea]] and the subclass [[Patellogastropoda]] (according to the [[Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005)|taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005]]). <ref name="WoRMS">Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2014). Acmaeidae Forbes, 1850. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=114 on 2014-10-31</ref>
==Taxonomy== Listed as valid family in Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) but this classification revised following the [[molecular phylogeny]] of Nakano & Ozawa (2007). Acmaeinae, including ''[[Erginus]]'', was found to be [[paraphyletic]]. However, this synonymy was subsequently found incorrect, having been the result of contaminated samples, and ''Acmaea mitra'' and a related species, ''[[Niveotectura pallida]]'' form a well-supported clade outside of the [[Lottiidae]], and Acmaeidae was re-established.<ref>{{cite journal | author=Nakano, T. & T.
