Triforidae

Triphoridae is a family of very small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the informal group Ptenoglossa, within the clade Hypsogastropoda. Almost all the species in this family are micromollusks and almost all are left-handed in shell-coiling.[1]

Shell description

The shells of triphorids are small and extremely high-spired, with numerous narrow whorls which often have distinctive sculpture. The majority of species in this family are left-handed or sinistral.

Taxonomy

The following subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi of 2005:

Gründel (1975), stated that the correct family name is Triforidae Jousseaume, 1884 and not Triphoridae, but this is only true when the genera Triforis and Triphora are placed in the same family (Kosuge, 1976). Marshall (1980) however stated that the two genera need to be placed in two different families: the Triforidae and the Triphoridae.[1] WoRMS do not recognise these 3 subfamilies and consider them alternative representation of Triphoridae.[1]
