Description

Instead of an external calcareous shell, they possess a pseudoconch, consisting of conchioline, a cartilaginous tissue. The mantle and the gill have disappeared as well. They breathe through the skin. They prefer warm water.

Distribution

Cymbuliidae are found in all marine waters between -54 and 55°N.[3]

Subfamilies

The family Cymbuliidae consists of two following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005):

  • subfamily Cymbuliinae Gray, 1840
  • subfamily Glebinae van der Spoel, 1976[4]

Genera

Genera within the family Cymbuliidae include:

subfamily Cymbuliinae

  • Cymbulia Péron & Lesueur, 1810 - type genus of the family Cymbuliidae[2]

    • Cymbulia peronii Lamarck, 1819[6] - Distribution: Florida, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Oceanic. Length: 65 mm.
    • Cymbulia sibogae Tesch, 1903[7] - Distribution: Brazil, Argentina, Oceanic. Length: 24 mm.
  • Corolla Dall, 1871

subfamily Glebinae

  • Gleba Forsskål, 1776 - type genus of the subfamily Glebinae[2]
    • Gleba chrysosticta Troschel, 1854:[8] synonym of Corolla chrysosticta (Troschel, 1854)

gollark: I mean "can it convert them into human-readable date/time strings", primarily.
gollark: Yes, I mean a number.
gollark: Can CC:T parse Unix timestamps?
gollark: You have to cover every disk component, as well as every environment-meddling thing, and also possibly EEPROMs.
gollark: OC's API surface is bigger so you could not easily port potatOS's sandboxing backend to it.
