Stromboidea

• Rostellariidae Gabb, 1868

Original Description of Rostellariidae (as Rostellariinae) by Gabb, 1868:

• "Animal as in Strombinae. Operculum small, ovate, not serrate. Shell fusiform or subfusiform, spire usually alavated."

The family Rostellariidae contains the following genera:

• Africoterebellum Eames, 1957
• Amekichilus Eames, 1957
• Amplogladius Cossmann, 1889
• Chedevillia Cossmann, 1906
• Cyrtulotibia Eames, 1957
• Eotibia Clark, 1942
• Hippochrenes Montfort, 1810
• Platyoptera Conrad, 1855
• Rimellopsis Lambiotte, 1979
• Rostellariella Thiele, 1929
• Semiterebellum Cossmann, 1889
• Sulcogladius Sacco, 1893
• Terebellomimus Pacaud, 2008
• Terebellopsis Leymerie, 1846
• Tibia Röding, 1798
• Tibiochilus Eames, 1952

• Calyptraphorinae Bandel, 2007
• Rimellinae
• Rostellariinae

Kronenberg & Burger 2002 included Mauryna in Rostellariidae which is not followed here (at the moment), here it is included in Seraphidae as done by Wenz 1938. There has been a revision of the genus Mauryna by *Savazzi 1988 (only abstract), a reference that is not included in the discussion, since it is not available to me at the moment.

History and Synonymy

ROSTELLARIIDAE

• ? Syn.: HIPPOCHRENIDAE Bandel, 2007: 132

1975

Golikov & Starobogatov, 1975, p. 220:

• "The new name Tibiidae is used by us instead of Rostellariidae in view of the priority of the name Tibia Bolten in Röding, 1798 over Rostellaria Lamarck, 1799."
