& Bouchet P. (2015), Lilliconus has become a subgenus of Conasprella: Conasprella (Lilliconus) Tucker & Tenorio, 2009 represented as Conasprella Thiele, 1929 [2] The Tucker & Tenorio 2009 taxonomy distinguishes Lilliconus from Conus in the following ways:[3] This list of species is based on the information in the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) list.
In 2009 however, J.K. Tucker and M.J. Tenorio proposed a classification system for the over 600 recognized species that were in the family.
This classification was based upon shell morphology, radular differences, anatomy, physiology, cladistics, with comparisons to molecular (DNA) studies.
"[7] Debate within the scientific community regarding continues, and additional molecular phylogeny studies are being carried out in an attempt to clarify the issue.
