Scientific Name Notes This species was allocated tentatively to the Gilquiniidae by Beveridge & Campbell, 1988 and to the Shirleyrhynchidae by Campbell & Beveridge, 1994. Redescribed by Beveridge & Duffy (2005). Herzog & Jensen (2022) made Shirleyrhynchidae a junior synonym of Rhinoptericolidae, but did not transfer C. acanthocapax (a former shirleyrhynchid) to the Rhinoptericolidae. Those authors consider C. acanthocapax a taxon incertae sedis within the Eutetrarhynchoidea.
