Cavolinioidea
The superfamily Cavolinioidea is the most speciose group of sea butterflies. They belong to the suborder Euthecosomata. MolluscaBase eds. (2021). MolluscaBase. Cavolinioidea Gray, 1850 (1815). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=411903 on 2021-03-11 Sea butterflies (thecosomata) are pelagic marine gastropods, so called because they swim by flapping their wing-like parapodia. Distribution These sea butterflies are circumglobal, carried by the sea currents to all the seas of the world. Habitat Cavoliniids prefer deep waters, from 100 m up to 2,000 m. They do best in warm oceanic water. Shell description Species in this superfamily have a calcareous, bilaterally symmetrical conical or globular shell.
