Reference: Tertiary faunas. Volume 1, The

Type genus: Astraea Röding, 1 798
Remarks: Introduced as a replacement name
for Astraliinae, based on Astralium, considered
by Davies to be a synonym of Astraea.
For those who consider that Astraea and
Turbo do not belong to the same subfamily,
Astraeinae has won general acceptance in
the sense of Art. 40.2, and takes the precedence
of Astraliinae (1 854).
