Lesueurillidae is an extinct family of paleozoic molluscs (gastropods?) with anisostrophically coiled shells of uncertain position (Gastropoda?) (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005 [2] categorizes Lesueurillidae in the superfamilia Euomphaloidea within the Paleozoic molluscs with anisostrophically coiled shells of uncertain position (Gastropoda?). This family has no subfamilies.
Genera in the family Lesueurillidae include [3]
Fossils of family Lesueurillidae has sharp peripheral band and a short notch formed from deep V-shaped sinus. [1] They are similar to Maclurites but they differ in early ontogenesis from them. [1]
