Eulithidium
''Eulithidium'' is a genus of small colorful sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Phasianellidae, the pheasant shells. Several species in this genus were originally placed in the genus ''Eucosmia''. However, the name ''Eucosmia'' was pre-occupied in zoology for a group of moths established by Stephens in 1829. The molluscan ''Eucosmia'' was therefore called ''Eulithidium'' to distinguish it from the group of Lepidoptera Lepidoptera ( ) is an order (biology), order of insects that includes butterfly, butterflies and moths (both are called lepidopterans).
