Scaphandridae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Philinoidea.[1]
Scaphandridae was considered as a synonym of Cylichnidae in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).[2]
However, Malaquias et al. (2009)[3] reinstated Scaphandridae as a valid family.
