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]
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]
Genera
Genera within the family Scaliolidae include:
- Finella A. Adams, 1860 - synonyms: Eufenella Kuroda & Habe, 1952; Fenella A. Adams, 1864; Obtortio Hedley, 1899
- Scaliola A. Adams, 1860 - type genus of the family Scaliolidae
