Stromboidea
Euprotomus Gill , 1870: 131. Type species by monotypy: Strombus aurisdianae Linnaeus, 1758.
Original Description of Euprotomus by Gill, 1870:
- "The "entirely lateral" sinus contrasts with the anterior position characteristic of the genus Euprotomus (St. auris-dianae, etc.), in which the expansion of the lip and deflection of the anterior portion of the shell and revolving striae throw it entirely forwards." (The description is hidden in a footnote in an article on Lambis)

Biology:
- Euprotomus lives mainly infaunal. It has an elongated and dorsally-bent anterior canal for an inhalant current and a posterior sinus for the exhalant current (Savazzi, 1988; Savazzi, 1991)
