Abstract

In this short report, higher taxonomic position of the suborder Jinonicellina Pokorný, 1978 is discussed. This suborder definitely does not belong to the subclasses Archaeogastropoda and Amphigastropoda. Its interpretation as a fossil group related to extant Monoplacophora (=Tryblidiida) is also improbable. In addition, there is no evidence that the suborder Jinonicellina belongs to the phylum Mollusca.
