Paraguraleus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae. [1]
This genus was originally described by A.W.B. Powell as belonging to the group of Lower Miocene to Recent Australian turrids, resembling Guraleus but with a very different protoconch. [2]
Turrid, plural turrids, is a common name for a very large group of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks which until recently were all classified in the family Turridae. However, recently the family was discovered to be polyphyletic and therefore was split into a number of families.
Mangeliidae is a monophyletic family of small to medium-sized, predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.
Austroclavus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, unassigned to a family within the superfamily Conoidea.
Asperdaphne is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Vexitomina is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.
Marita is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
Tomopleura is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Borsoniidae.
Guraleus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mangeliidae.
Horaiclavidae is a family of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.
Raphitomidae is a family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.

Antiguraleus howelli is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Antiguraleus serpentis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Antiguraleus tepidus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
Antiguraleus subitus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae.
