Cochliopidae is a family of small freshwater snails with gills and an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks.

Paludestrina d'Orbigny, 1840 is an archaic synonym, ^[1] and has been placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Names by ICZN Opinion 2202. ^[2]

Description

Cochliopidae snails are characterized by sharp, elongated spire-like structures, and can be found in rivers or brackish water. ^[1]
