Anacithara is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Horaiclavidae.[1]
This genus was previously classified under the subfamily Mangeliinae, but transferred to Crassispirinae by Kilburn in 1994 [2] In 2011 it was brought into the family Horaiclavidae by Bouchet P., Kantor Yu.I., Sysoev A. & Puillandre N. in their publication "A new operational classification of the Conoidea" [3]
