ERATOIDAE GILL, 1871 View in CoL

Remarks — Schilder (1933) noted that the Eratoidae differ anatomically and conchologically from all other cypraeoideans. His generic subdivisions were, however, based solely on shell features. Schilder’s (1936) classification included radula and osphradia in addition to shell morphology. Cate (1977) produced the most complete monograph on living eratoids and adopted the classification scheme of Schilder and Schilder (1971), which is utilized herein.
