Cardiapoda is a genus of very small floating sea snails or heteropods, pelagic gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Carinariidae.
Both tentacles are of equal size and well-developed. The external layer of the body wall is thin.
They are found worldwide in the pelagic zone of warm seas.
The Limacinidae are a family of small sea snails, pteropods, pelagic marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Thecosomata.
Limacina is a genus of swimming predatory sea snails commonly known as sea butterflies in the family Limacinidae. This genus contains some of the world's most abundant gastropod species.
The Clionidae are a family of sea angels, which are a group of pelagic marine gastropods.
