==Species==
There used to be three subgenera[Houbrick R. S. (1984). "Revision of higher taxa in genus ''Cerithidea'' (Mesogastropoda: Potamididae) based on comparative morphology and biological data". ''[American Malacological Bulletin](/source/American_Malacological_Bulletin)'' '''2''': 1-20. [http://si-pddr.si.edu/jspui/bitstream/10088/6218/1/sms_houbrick_1984.pdf PDF].] in the genus ''Cerithidea'': subgenus ''Cerithea'', subgenus ''[Cerithideopsis](/source/Cerithideopsis)'' and subgenus ''[Cerithideopsilla](/source/Cerithideopsilla)''. These have been brought to the status of genus.
