Seraphsidae is a family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Stromboidea. [2] [3]
There is one extant genus within the family Seraphsidae:
All other Seraphsidae genera are known only from the fossil record: [4]
Strombidae, commonly known as the true conchs, is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to very large sea snails in the superfamily Stromboidea, and the Epifamily Neostromboidae. The term true conchs, being a common name, does not have an exact meaning. It may generally refer to any of the Strombidae but sometimes is used more specifically to include only Strombus and Lambis. The family currently includes 26 extant, and 10 extinct genera.
Olive snails, also known as olive shells and olives, scientific name Olividae, are a taxonomic family of medium to large predatory sea snails with smooth, shiny, elongated oval-shaped shells.
The Terebridae, commonly referred to as auger shells or auger snails, is a group or family of small to large predatory marine gastropods in the superfamily Conoidea.
The Stromboidea, originally named the Strombacea by Rafinesque in 1815, is a superfamily of medium-sized to very large sea snails in the clade Littorinimorpha.
Turbinidae, the turban snails, are a family of small to large marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Trochoidea.
The Melongenidae, the crown conchs and their relatives, are a taxonomic family of large to very large marine gastropods in the superfamily Buccinoidea.
The Nassariidae, Nassa mud snails (USA), or dog whelks (UK), are a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Neogastropoda.
Costellariidae sometimes called the "ribbed miters" is a taxonomic family of minute to medium-sized predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks. This family of snails is also sometimes referred to as Vexillum miters. The main family of miter shells however is Mitridae, a closely related group.
The Personidae are a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the order Littorinimorpha.
Coralliophilinae is a taxonomic group, a subfamily of about 200–250 sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks commonly known as the coral snails or coral shells. This is a subfamily within the very large family Muricidae, the murex or rock snails.
Canarium urceus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Aliger is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Terebellum is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Seraphsidae, the Terebellum conchs.
Laevistrombus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Gibberulus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Doxander is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Rostellariidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.
The subfamily Ovulinae, common name the ovulines, is a highly specialized, extant group of sea snails in the family Ovulidae. These are predatory or parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the superfamily Cypraeoidea. Species in this subfamily are sometimes referred to as cowries, although this name is commonly used for any member of the superfamily Cypraeoidea.
Olivinae is a subfamily of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Olividae, the olives.
Macrostrombus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
