Parasetic Scalesnail

Cochliolepis parasitica

Classification

Class: Gastropoda
Order: Littorinimorpha
Family: Tornidae

Cochliolepis is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tornidae. Taxonomy Rolán & Rubio (2002: 46) hold Discopsis as a valid genus, distinct from Cochliolepis Stimpson, 1858, on the grounds that the latter belongs in the family Vitrinellidae and the former in Tornidae. This should be reevaluated in the perspective that both families are considered synonyms.
