Carinariidae, or the heteropods, is a taxonomic family of floating sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the order Sorbeoconcha.

Description

The shells of the gastropods in this family are small in relation to the size of the elongate animal, and the shell serves only as a protection to the viscera. The shell is a thin transparent cap, somewhat resembling the shell of a miniature argonauta, or paper nautilus.

This family consists of two subfamilies, one of which is extinct :
*Carinariinae Blainville, 1818
*† Brunoniinae Dieni, 1990

Genera

* "Cardiapoda" D'Orbigny, 1835
* "Carinaria" Lamarck, 1801
