Calliotropidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.

Taxonomy

2005 taxonomy

Calliotropidae was classified as the subfamily Calliotropinae within Chilodontidae according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005.

2007-2009 taxonomy

Molecular phylogeny research on Seguenzioidea was published by Kano (2007).

Kano et al. (2009) elevated the subfamily Calliotropinae to family level as Calliotropidae.
