Description edit
The head of the animal is proboscidiform. The epipodial line has a pair of conical lobes and three pairs of cirri.
The white shell has a turbiniform or discoidal shape. It shows longitudinal ribs or is clathrate. The shell shows a fine lamellar sculpture. The circular aperture is feebly nacreous. The thick peristome is continuous and shows a callous varix. The multispiral operculum is hispid, corneous and has a soft, calcareous outer layer (intritacalx) formed of pearly beads that are disposed spirally.[3]
Taxonomy edit
2005 taxonomy edit
The family Liotiidae belongs to the superfamily Turbinoidea, according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).
This family consists of the three following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Liotiinae Gray, 1850 - synonym: Cyclostrematidae P. Fischer, 1885; McLean (1987) ranked it as subfamily of Turbinidae.[4]
- † Brochidiinae Yochelson, 1956
- † Dichostasiinae Yochelson, 1956
2008 taxonomy edit
Liotiidae was moved to the redefined superfamily Trochoidea according to Williams et al. (2008).[5]
