Tripterotyphis triangularis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. [1]
The gastropods, commonly known as snails and slugs, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda.
The operculum is a corneous or calcareous anatomical structure like a trapdoor that exists in many groups of sea snails and freshwater snails, and also in a few groups of land snails; the structure is found in some marine and freshwater gastropods, and in a minority of terrestrial gastropods, including the families Helicinidae, Cyclophoridae, Aciculidae, Maizaniidae, Pomatiidae, etc.
Lottia is a genus of sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Lottiinae of the family Lottiidae, one of the families of true limpets.
Sea snail is a common name for slow-moving marine gastropod molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible shell.
The Trochidae, common name top-snails or top-shells, are a family of various sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subclass Vetigastropoda. This family is commonly known as the top-snails because in many species the shell resembles a toy spinning top.
Thais, sometimes known by the common names dog winkles or rock shells, is a genus of medium to large predatory sea snails with an operculum, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae.
Collisella was a genus of primitive sea snails, specifically true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Lottiidae, one of the families of true limpets. This genus has become a synonym of Lottia Gray, 1833
Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks which live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung. Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders.
Cystiscus triangularis is a species of very small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Cystiscidae.
Tripterotyphis arcana is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphis fayae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphis lowei is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tripterotyphis robustus is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Vitularia triangularis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.

Septa is a genus of small to large predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cymatiidae.
Tripterotyphinae is a subfamily in the family Muricidae.
Terrestrial molluscs or land molluscs (mollusks) are an ecological group that includes all molluscs that live on land in contrast to freshwater and marine molluscs. They probably first occurred in the Carboniferous, arising from freshwater ones.
Acanthais triangularis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk, in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
