Caribeginella is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eratoidae [1]

Taxonomy

Based on its taenioglossate radula, and despite its columellar folds, Espinosa & Ortea (1998) originally allocated Caribeginella to the family Triviidae. Fehse(2012) transferred Caribeginella to the Marginellidae in the synonymy of Hyalina , and suggested that the original authors had, during radula preparation, mixed its radula with that of a species of Triviidae. This view was rejected by Caballer et al. (2013), who treated Caribeginella as a valid marginelliform genus of uncertain suprageneric classification. [1]
