Scaliolidae, common name scaliolids,^[1] is a family of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea, the ceriths and their allies.^[2]

Sand grains agglutinate to the teleoconch in the type genus Scaliola.^[3]

2005 taxonomy[]

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Scaliolidae has no subfamilies and has Obtortionidae Thiele, 1925 and Thile, 1929 as its synonyms.^[2]

2006 taxonomy[]

Bandel (2006)^[3] classified Scaliolidae within the superfamily Cerithioidea, but Obtortionidae at its own family level and Finellidae as a subfamily of .^[3]
