This family is part of the superfamily Cypraeoidea, which includes cowries, a well-known group of sea snails. Distribution and habitat Ancillariidae species can be found in tropical and subtropical waters around the world, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.

Amalda
''Amalda'' is a genus of medium-sized sea snails, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Ancillariidae, the olives and allies.Bouchet, P. (2014). Amalda H. Adams & A. Adams, 1853. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=390993 on 2015-01-18 Description The thin shell is not umbilicated. The spire is elongated with the suture enamelled. The primary spire callus covers most of the spire, including at least part of the protoconch, leaving in most cases only the first protoconch whorl exposed. The inner lip has the callus moderate, defined. The outer lip is simple. Distribution These snails usually live in the sand in fairly shallow water in tropical and temperate regions of the world with a particularly rich fauna in Australia and the Indo-West Pacific. Most species are predators of marine bivalves. In general, both shallow and deep-water species of ''Amalda'' tend to have relatively narrow distribution ranges ...

Mollusca
Mollusca is a phylum of protostome, protostomic invertebrate animals, whose members are known as molluscs or mollusks (). Around 76,000 extant taxon, extant species of molluscs are recognized, making it the second-largest animal phylum after Arthropoda. The number of additional fossil species is estimated between 60,000 and 100,000, and the proportion of undescribed species is very high. Many taxa remain poorly studied. Molluscs are the largest marine biology, marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms. They are highly diverse, not just in size and anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and habitat, as numerous groups are freshwater mollusc, freshwater and even terrestrial molluscs, terrestrial species. The phylum is typically divided into 7 or 8 taxonomy (biology), taxonomic class (biology), classes, of which two are entirely extinct. Cephalopod molluscs, such as squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, are among the most neurobiology, neurologi ...
