Littorinimorpha is a large clade of snails, gastropods within the Hypsogastropoda, consisting primarily of sea snails (marine species), and also in addition some freshwater snails (aquatic species) and land snails (terrestrial species).[1]

Previously, the Linnaean taxonomy used in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Ponder & Lindberg (1997) was ranked like this: subclass Orthogastropoda, superorder Caenogastropoda, order Sorbeoconcha, suborder Hypsogastropoda, infraorder Littorinimorpha.

The clade Littorinimorpha contains many gastropod families that were formerly placed in the order Mesogastropoda, as introduced by J. Thiele in his work from 1921.[2] Evidence for this group being monophyletic is scanty. In 2003, E. E. Strong[3] suggested using only Neogastropoda as a clade within the clade Hypsogastropoda, and to include the unresolved superfamilies of the Hypsogastropoda within the Littorinimorpha.[4]

Superfamilies and families

The superfamilies grouped in this clade include a few families that are well-known based on their shells:

(Extinct taxa indicated by a dagger, †.)

Families brought into synonymy
  • Adeorbidae Monterosato, 1884: synonym of Tornidae Sacco, 1896 (1884)
  • Paludestrinidae Newton, 1891 accepted as Hydrobiidae Stimpson, 1865
  • Pyrgulidae Brusina, 1882 (1869) accepted as Hydrobiidae Stimpson, 1865
  • Vitrinellidae Bush, 1897 accepted as Tornidae Sacco, 1896 (1884)
