Notodiaphanidae is a taxonomic family of small sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod molluscs or micromollusks in the superfamily Diaphanoidea, the headshield slugs and bubble snails.

The little-known species in this family have small, flimsy, almost globular shells, known as paper bubble gastropod shells.

Habitat

The species occur in the sublitoral to abyssal zones.

hell description

The shell is minute, thin, fragile, colorless to translucent, and usually less than 5 mm in size. The overall shape is ovate, pear-shaped, and bulbous. There is a sunken apex.
