Urocoptoidea is a superfamily of land snails, gastropods in the suborder Helicina.

Families

In 2005, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, the families Urocoptidae and Cerionidae were classified within the superfamily Orthalicoidea .

In 2008, the superfamily Urocoptoidea was established by the malacologist Uit de Weerd, based on molecular phylogeny research.

In 2012, Thompson established a new family, the Epirobiidae.
