Monophorus is a genus of minute sea snails with left-handed shell-coiling, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Triphoridae. [1]
Species within the genus Monophorus are as follows:
Species in this genus are found in the Mediterranean Sea and in the Atlantic Ocean around the Azores, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde.
Turbonillinae is a subfamily of mostly minute parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Gibberula is a genus of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Cystiscidae, previously placed in the family Marginellidae, the margin shells or marginellids.
Triphoridae is a family of very small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the informal group Ptenoglossa, within the clade Hypsogastropoda. Almost all the species in this family are micromollusks and almost all are left-handed in shell-coiling.
Tornidae is a family of very small and minute sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Littorinimorpha. This family used to be known as the Vitrinellidae. Iredale has shown that the family Adeorbidae Monterosato, 1884 should be called Tornidae
Chrysallida is a speciose genus of minute sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pyramidellidae within the tribe Chrysallidini.
Solariellidae is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Trochoidea.

Zebina is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Zebinidae.
Tomopleura is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Borsoniidae.
Seila is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Cerithiopsidae.
Cerithiopsis is a genus of very small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Cerithiopsidae.
Metaxia is a genus of minute sea snails with right-handed shell-coiling, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Triphoridae, which are mostly left-handed in shell-coiling.
Inella is a genus of minute sea snails with left-handed shell-coiling, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Triphoridae.
Eulimella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
Curveulima is a major genus of medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Triphora is a genus of very small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Triphoridae. The genus was named by Blainville in 1828, and the type species is Triphora gemmata Blainville, 1828. Like most of the other genera in this family, the shells of species in this genus are extremely high-spired with sculptural decoration, and are sinistral (left-handed) in coiling.
