Clavatulidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea. The family is not well differentiated morphologically. Clavatulidae was raised, based on cladistic analysis, from subfamily to the family level by Rosenberg in 1998. It is no longer regarded as a subfamily of Turridae by several malacologists (Kantor, Sysoev).World Register of Marine Species: Clavatulidae accessed 1 April 2010. This family has no subfamilies.

World Register Of Marine Species
The World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS) is a taxonomic database that aims to provide an authoritative and comprehensive list of names of marine organisms. Content The content of the registry is edited and maintained by scientific specialists on each group of organism. These taxonomists control the quality of the information, which is gathered from the primary scientific literature as well as from some external regional and taxon-specific databases. WoRMS maintains valid names of all marine organisms, but also provides information on synonyms and invalid names. It is an ongoing task to maintain the registry, since new species are constantly being discovered and described by scientists; in addition, the nomenclature and taxonomy of existing species is often corrected or changed as new research is constantly being published. Subsets of WoRMS content are made available, and can have separate badging and their own home/launch pages, as "subregisters", such as the ''World List of ...

Hermann Strebel (malacologist)
Hermann Wilhelm Strebel ( Hamburg, 1 January 1834 – Hamburg, 6 November 1914) was a merchant, ethnologue and a malacologist from Germany and Mexico. Biography He was born on 1 January 1834 in Hamburg as the youngest of four brothers. Through his school teacher he became interested in the study of snails and their shells On 13 August 1848, he left for Veracruz (city), Veracruz in Mexico. Under the supervision of his eldest brother he became an apprentice in a factory. He would stay in Mexico for the next twenty years. He survived a shipwreck off the coast of Yucatán (peninsula), Yucatán. Between 1852 and 1867 he worked as a merchant for German exporters of manufactured goods. During this time he began under the guidance of his friend Carl Hermann Berendt collecting shells of native snails, which would constitute the basis of his collection. At this time, he began a lively exchange with German and American malacologists. He was also introduced by Berendt to zoology and archeolog ...
