Trochidae A shell of Trochus tiaratus Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Mollusca Class: Gastropoda (unranked): clade Vetigastropoda Superfamily: Trochoidea Family: Trochidae
Rafinesque, 1815Subfamilies 9 subfamilies[1]
The Trochidae, common name top snails, are a taxonomic family of very small to large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi from 2005).
This family is commonly known as the "top snails", because in many species the shell is shaped like an old-fashioned top. They are characterized by some primitive traits among the opisthobranchs : a heart with two atriums and external fertilization. They have retained only one kidney and the second osphradium has been lost in the course of evolution. They have a corneous operculum which fits the aperture snugly.

Taxonomy
2005 taxonomy
This family consists of six following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):
- Trochinae Rafinesque, 1815
- tribe Trochini Rafinesque, 1815 - synonym: Pyramidinae Gray, 1847
- tribe Cantharidini Gray, 1857
- tribe Monodontini Gray, 1857 - synonym: Gibbulinae Stoliczka, 1868
- Halistilynae Keen, 1958
- Lirulariinae Hickman & McLean, 1990
- Margaritinae Thiele, 1924
- tribe Margaritini Thiele, 1924 - synonym: Margaritinae Stoliczka, 1868 (inv.)
- tribe Gazini Hickman & McLean, 1990
- tribe Kaiparathinini Marshall, 1993
- Stomatellinae Gray, 1840 - synonyms: Stomatiidae Carpenter, 1861, Stomatellidae Gray, 1840
- Umboniinae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (1840)
- tribe Umboniini H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (1840) - synonym: Rotellinae Swainson, 1840
- tribe Bankiviini Hickman & McLean, 1990
- tribe Isandini Hickman, 2003
- tribe Talopiini Finlay, 1928 - synonym: Monileini Hickman & McLean, 1990
2008 taxonomy
The family Trochidae was redefined according to Williams et al. (2008).[2] The tribes from Trochinae were raised to subfamilies,[2] Margaritinae was moved to the family Turbinidae,[2] and Halistylinae provisionally stays in Trochidae.[2]
- Trochinae Rafinesque, 1815
- Cantharidinae Gray, 1857
- Monodontinae Gray, 1857
- Halistylinae Keen, 1958
- Lirulariinae Hickman & McLean, 1990
- Stomatellinae Gray, 1840
- Umboniinae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (1840) - tribes of Umboniinae are retained the same as in taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)
- tribe Umboniini H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (1840) - synonym: Rotellinae Swainson, 1840
- tribe Bankiviini Hickman & McLean, 1990
- tribe Isandini Hickman, 2003
- tribe Talopiini Finlay, 1928 - synonym: Monileini Hickman & McLean, 1990
2010 taxonomy
Williams et al. (2010)[1] added three new subfamilies to Trochidae : Alcyninae, Fossarininae and Chrysostomatinae. The subfamily Lirulariinae is now incorporated within the subfamily Umboniinae. In this study was also shown that the subfamily Margaritinae is not monophyletic. Here is also shown, which genera were placed into these three new subfamilies:[1]
- subfamily Alcyninae Williams, Donald, Spencer & Nakano, 2010 - only one genus Alcyna
- subfamily Trochinae Rafinesque, 1815
- subfamily Monodontinae Gray, 1857
- subfamily Fossarininae Bandel, 2009
- subfamily Chrysostomatinae Williams, Donald, Spencer & Nakano, 2010
- genus Chrysostoma
- genus Chlorodiloma
- subfamily Umboniinae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (1840) - synonym: Lirulariinae Hickman & McLean, 1990
- subfamily Stomatellinae Gray, 1840
- subfamily Cantharidinae Gray, 1857
- subfamily Halistylinae Keen, 1958
Distribution
This family has a worldwide distribution in tropical, temperate and arctic waters. Members of this family are among the most common marine snails along the rocky shores of Europe.
Ecology
Habitat
Many species in the family live either in the intertidal zone or in the shallow subtidal zone, but some live in deeper water. They are usually abundant on solid substrate, like rocky shores and reefs.[3]
Life cycle
The Trochidae are dioecious, and the fertilization occurs internally.[3] Top snail eggs are laid individually or in gelatinous egg masses in the water. Individuals may hatch as free-swimming planktonic larvae or juvenile crawlers.[3]
Feeding
This family of snails feed by grazing on algae and detritus, and more rarely by filter-feeding, as observed in the genus Umbonium.[3]

- Alcyninae
