Taxonomic remark Erected for T. wellsi, formerly Lochriea wellsi, erroneously previously identified as the "conodont animal" since it contained conodonts, however the latter were later revealed to be in the animal's gut, not its mouthparts. Phylogenetic position unknown; Conway Morris & Caron, 2022 suggest that "Typhloesus may represent an independent radiation of Mid-Palaeozoic pelagic gastropods", however also that "similarities to the molluscs, let alone the heteropods, may be the result of convergence ".
