Modulidae, common name modulids, [3] is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea. [4]
According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Modulidae has no subfamilies.
Genera within the family Modulidae include:
Sorbeoconcha is a taxonomic clade of snails, i.e. gastropods, mainly marine species with gills and opercula, within the clade Caenogastropoda.
Neritoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of mostly sea snails, nerites and their allies, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Cycloneritida.
Melanopsidae, common name melanopsids, is a family of freshwater gastropods in the clade Sorbeoconcha. Species in this family are native to southern and eastern Europe, northern Africa, parts of the Middle East, New Zealand, and freshwater streams of some large South Pacific islands.
The Vermetidae, the worm snails or worm shells, are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of species in the family Vermetidae are extremely irregular, and do not resemble the average snail shell, hence the common name "worm shells" or "worm snails".
Thiaridae, common name thiarids or trumpet snails, is a family of tropical freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea.
The Cerithioidea is a superfamily of marine, brackish water and freshwater gastropod containing more than 200 genera. The Cerithoidea are included unassigned in the subclass Caenogastropoda. The original name of this superfamily was Cerithiacea, in keeping with common superfamily endings at the time.
Batillariidae, common name batillariids or mudcreepers, are a family of marine, cerithioidean gastropod molluscs in thesuperfamily Cerithioidea.
Diastomatidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea.
Litiopidae, common name litiopids, is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
Scaliolidae, common name scaliolids, is a family of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea, the ceriths and their allies.
Modulus is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Modulidae.
Procerithiidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.
This overview lists proposed changes in the taxonomy of gastropods at the family level and above since 2005, when the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) was published. In other words, these are recent updates in the way various groups of snails and slugs are classified.
Trochomodulus calusa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Modulidae.
Trochomodulus carchedonius is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Modulidae.
Indomodulus tectum is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Modulidae.
Pyrazus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Batillariidae. Pyriazidae is a synonym of Batillariidae and Pyrazus is the type genus of the Pyriazidae.
Obtortionidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Cerithioidea, that is within the clade Cerithimorpha or in clade Sorbeoconcha.
Conomodulus is a small genus of sea snails representing one extinct and one extant species. This genus of snails was first formally named in 2014 by Bernard Landau, Geerat J. Vermeij, and Sonja Reich. The name Conomodulus refers to the conical spire and familial name, Modulidae.
Trochomodulus is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Modulidae.
