Description
As implied by the name, these snails are notable for the way they modify their elongated shells as they mature, breaking off several of the apical whorls
A whorl ( or ) is an individual circle, oval, volution or equivalent in a whorled pattern, which consists of a spiral or multiple concentric objects (including circles, ovals and arcs).

Locomotion
The method of locomotion used by ''Truncatella'' is unusual. Instead of gliding over a slime trail using minute waves in its foot, ''Truncatella'' uses a very large and muscularproboscis
A proboscis () is an elongated appendage from the head of an animal, either a vertebrate or an invertebrate. In invertebrates, the term usually refers to tubular arthropod mouthparts, mouthparts used for feeding and sucking. In vertebrates, a pr ...

Species
The genus ''Truncatella'' was erected by Antoine Risso
Giuseppe Antonio Risso (8 April 1777 – 25 August 1845), called Antoine Risso, was a naturalist from Nice.
Risso was born in the city of Nice in the Duchy of Savoy, and studied under Giovanni Battista Balbis. He published ' (1810), ' (1826) an ...

There are several genera within the Truncatellidae, but the eponymous genus ''Truncatella'' is the largest (in terms of number of species); other genera in the family are '' Geomelania'', ''Taheitia
''Taheitia'' is a genus of very small land snails that have an Operculum (gastropod), operculum and live near saltwater, maritime terrestrial animal, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Truncatellidae.
