Asterophila is a genus of medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae. [1]
There are three known species within the Asterophila genus of gastropods. These include the following:
Eulimidae is a family of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Vanikoroidea.
Neolepetopsidae is a family of small deep sea sea snails or true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the subclass Patellogastropoda.
The Zerotulidae comprise a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Littorinoidea.
Pyropelta is a genus of small sea snails, deep-water limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pyropeltidae.
Trochaclis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Trochaclididae.
Babakina is a genus of sea slugs, aeolid nudibranchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Flabellinoidea. The genus is named after the Japanese malacologist Kikutaro Baba (1905-2001).
Frovina is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Zerotulidae, the moon snails.
Asterophila japonica is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. The species is one of three known species within the genus Asterophila, the other congeneric species being Asterophila perknasteri and Asterophila rathbunasteri.
Asterolamia perknasteri is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. The species is one of three known species within the genus Asterophila; the other congeneric species are Asterophila japonica and Asterophila rathbunasteri.
Asterophila rathbunasteri is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. The species is one of three known species within the genus Asterophila; the other congeneric species are Asterophila japonica and Asterophila perknasteri.
Clypeastericola is a genus of medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Clypeastericola clypeastericola is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. This species is one of two known species to exist within the genus, Clypeastericola, the other species is known as Clypeastericola natalensis.
Clypeastericola natalensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. The species is one of two known species to exist within the genus, Clypeastericola, the other one is known as Clypeastericola clypeastericola.
Eulima encopicola is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. The species is one of a number within the genus Eulima.
Fuscapex is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Hypermastus mareticola is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae.

Megadenus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Nanobalcis is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Rathbunaster is a monospecific genus of sea stars belonging to the family Asteriidae. The genus name was given by Fisher as a honorific of the starfish biologist Richard Rathbun of the Smithsonian Institution. He originally ranged this genus under the family Pycnopididae, synonymous with Asteriidae.
