Scaliolidae, common name scaliolids, [1] is a family of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea, the ceriths and their allies. [2]

Contents

Sand grains agglutinate to the teleoconch in the type genus Scaliola. [3]

2005 taxonomy

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Scaliolidae has no subfamilies and has Obtortionidae Thiele, 1925 and Finellidae Thile, 1929 as its synonyms. [2]

2006 taxonomy

Bandel (2006) [3] classified Scaliolidae within the superfamily Cerithioidea, but Obtortionidae at its own family level and Finellidae as a subfamily of Bittiidae. [3]
