Cochlespirinae was a subfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, belonging to the family Turridae, [1] commonly named turrids.
It has been raised to the rank of family Cochlespiridae Powell, 1942 [2]
Genera in the subfamily Cochlespirinae used to include: [3]
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 about 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.
The Columbellidae, the dove snails or dove shells, are a family of minute to small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the order Neogastropoda.
Pseudomelatomidae is a family of predatory sea snails, marine gastropods included in the superfamily Conoidea and part of the Neogastropoda.
The Drilliidae are a taxonomic family of small predatory sea snails with high-spired shells. They are classified as marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.
Turrinae is a former subfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Turridae the turrids.
Crassispirinae is a subfamily of small predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, belonging to the family Turridae, commonly named turrids.
The Zemaciinae, containing only the genus Zemacies, was considered a subfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, belonging to the family Turridae, commonly named turrids. Following a revision by Philippe Bouchet et al., the monogeneric subfamily Zemaciinae was abandoned and the genus Zemacies was transferred from Turridae to Borsoniidae. The Zemaciinae were distinguished from other subfamilies by the lack of a radula.
