Diversity
Two genera are known of cossuridae: Cossura (comprising about 20 species) and Cossurella (comprising 5 species). (Heterocossura has been synonymised with Cossurella by Ewing (1987).) About 4 species of Cossura have been collected from from benthic surveys in southeastern Australia, but they have not yet been studied systematically.
