The species in this family are hermaphroditic. They can be found from sublittoral to hadal depths. Description The shells are small (less than 6 mm), thin and translucent.

Pseudococculina Granulata
''Pseudococculina granulata'' is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudococculinidae, the false limpets.Rosenberg, G. (2012). ''Pseudococculina granulata'' Schepman, 1908. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=592605 on 2013-02-02 Description The small, white shell is oval and depressed. It is very thin. It grows to a length of 5½ mm. The shell is broader towards the front, the ends are slightly raised. The front and side-slopes are slightly convex. The posterior slope is nearly straight, with a very small impression below the nucleus, This nucleus is smooth, compressed, subspiral, placed at a little more than 6/11 of the total length of the shell. The sculpture consists of a few concentric striae. Moreover, the whole surface is covered by very small, crowded granules of an irregular oval, potatolike shape. Sometimes two or three granules are confluent. They are placed i ...

Pseudococculina
''Pseudococculina'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudococculinidae. Description The white shell has a patelliform shape with a posterior, inclined apex and a compressed, subspiral nucleus. Inside it has a porcellaneous, muscle-scar horseshoe-shaped, interrupted over the head. The animal has a plumate gill, at the right side of the head. The right tentacle is thickened. There are two epipodial (i.e. situated in the lateral grooves between foot and mantle) filaments at the posterior part of the foot. The radula has large rhachidian teeth, with the cusp wanting or very obsolete. The fïrst lateral teeth are triangular, followed by 3 smaller, contorted laterals, with distinct cusps, a large cusped fifth lateral, and numerous uncini.

Caymanabyssiidae
Caymanabyssiidae is a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the vaude Vetigastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). This family has no subfamilies. This family was originally the subfamily Caymanabyssiinae Marshall 1985, in the family Pseudococculinidae, containing the genera ''Caymanabyssia'' and ''Colotrachelus''. The three other genena were added later by Haszprunar (1988) Description The microsculpture of the protoconch consists of prismatic crystals. The apical folds are fused. The rachidian and the lateral teeth of the radula lack cutting surfaces.

Lepetelloidea
Lepetelloidea is a superfamily of sea snails, small deepwater limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Vetigastropoda (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). (Previously this superfamily was in the order Cocculiniformia.) WoRMS (2011). Lepetelloidea. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=382160 on 2011-08-13 Description Species in this superfamily have undivided shell muscles (except Lepetellidae). They possess secondary gill leaflets or their gills are reduced. Their radula contains a well-developed rachidian tooth. The soft body lacks subpallial (i.e. below the mantle) glands. They have paired kidneys with the right one larger. With the exception of the subfamily Choristellinae, all known lepetelloids are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning they possess both male and female reproductive organs at the same time. Species in the subfamily Choristellinae are g ...

Taxonomy Of The Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005)
The taxonomy of the Gastropoda as it was revised in 2005 by Philippe Bouchet and Jean-Pierre Rocroi is a system for the scientific classification of gastropod mollusks. (Gastropods are a taxonomic class of animals which consists of snails and slugs of every kind, from the land, from freshwater, and from saltwater.) The paper setting out this taxonomy was published in the journal ''Malacologia''. The system encompasses both living and extinct groups, as well as some fossils whose classification as gastropods is uncertain. The Bouchet & Rocroi system was the first complete gastropod taxonomy that primarily employed the concept of clades, and was derived from research on molecular phylogenetics; in this context a clade is a "natural grouping" of organisms based upon a statistical cluster analysis. In contrast, most of the previous overall taxonomic schemes for gastropods relied on morphological features to classify these animals, and used taxon ranks such as order, superorder ...
