Lunatia
''Lunatia'' is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.Bouchet, P. (2012). Lunatia. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=150577 on 2012-07-12 The species in this genus have been brought in synonymy mostly with ''Euspira'' Torigoe & Inaba (2011) provided a rather arbitrary assignment of species to respectively ''Euspira'' and ''Lunatia'' and this has been at one time uploaded in the WoRMS classification. However this is not based on any in-depth phylogenetic analysis and has proved inconsistent when some closely related European species (e.g. Euspira guillemini, E. macilenta) were then not congeneric. Until a substantiated phylogenetic hypothesis is published for the group, ''Lunatia'' is here considered a junior subjective synonym of ''Euspira'' and all the species accepted under ''Euspira'', following in this Marincowich (1977), Kabat (1991) and t ...

Naticidae
Naticidae, common name moon snails or necklace shells, is a family (biology), family of medium to large-sized predatory sea snails, marine (ocean), marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. The shells of the species in this family are mostly globular in shape. Naticidae is the only family in the superfamily Naticoidea. It has been estimated that worldwide there are about 260–270 Holocene, recent species of naticid snails. This group is assumed to have originated in the late Triassic or in the early Jurassic. Members of this family can be recognized by the shape of their shells, distinct appearance, or by their predatory behavior. Distribution Naticids are widely distributed and occur worldwide. The greatest Biodiversity, diversity of both species and genera is found in tropical regions. Even so, naticid snails are also plentiful in temperate, Arctic and Antarctic waters.
