In a different approach, Latiolais and colleagues (2006) proposed another cladogram that attempts to show the phylogenetic relationships of 34 species within the family Strombidae. The authors analysed 31 "Strombus " species, including "Aliger gigas" (there referred to as "Strombus gigas"), and three species in the allied genus "Lambis". The cladogram was based on DNA sequences of both nuclear histone H3 and mitochondrial cytochrome-c oxidase I (COI) protein-coding gene regions. In this proposed phylogeny, "Strombus gigas" and "Strombus gallus" (= "Lobatus gallus") are closely related and appear to share a common ancestor.
