Cochliolepis
Cochliolepis is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tornidae.
Taxonomy
Rolán & Rubio 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. Adam & Knudsen may have been right in placing the West African species in Cochliolepis.Species
