Speightiidae is an extinct taxonomic family of fossil sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks. [2] This family is not assigned to a superfamily. It has been traditionally classified near the family Turridae. But in 1993 it was shown that many, if not all, species that were placed in this family should instead be placed in the family Fasciolariidae. [3]
There are currently only two accepted genera within the family, Andicula and Speightia. Both of these are monotypic, including a single species each: Andicula occidentalis (H. Woods, 1922) and Speightia spinosa (Suter, 1917). [4]
Conoidea is a superfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the suborder Hypsogastropoda. This superfamily is a very large group of marine mollusks, estimated at 340 recent valid genera and subgenera, and considered by one authority to contain 4,000 named living species.
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.
