Capulidae – Taxon details on Paleobiology Database.
The Capulidae, the cap snails or cap shells, are a taxonomic family of limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.[1] Capulidae is the only family in the superfamily Capuloidea. According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Capulidae has no subfamilies.
The name Trichotropidae was previously used for this family, but this name is invalid, as it is a junior synonym.[2]
