Coralliophila

Gastropoda - Neogastropoda - Muricidae

Taxonomy

Coralliophila was named by Adams and Adams (1853) [Sepkoski's age data: T Ol-u R]. It is extant. Its type is Fusus neritoideus.

It was assigned to Magilidae by MacNeil (1960), Ladd (1977) and Ladd (1982); to Coralliophilidae by Martin (1904), Todd (2001) and Wienrich (2001); to Neogastropoda by Sepkoski (2002); to Coralliophilinae by Wilson (1994) and Landau and Marques da Silva (2010); and to Muricidae by Landau et al. (2007) and Darragh (2017).
