Belongs within: Littorinimorpha.
The Capulidae as recognised by Bouchet et al. (2005) combines what other authors have recognised as the families Capulidae and Trichotropidae. Though superficially quite different in appearance ('capulids' are limpet-shaped; 'trichotropids' are high-spired and coiled), the two groups share a distinctive larval form called the echinospira (also found in some other littorinimorph families such as the Lamellariidae) and a unique feeding structure called the pseudoproboscis. Simone (2002) disputed the monophyly of this expanded Capulidae, regarding the high-spired Trichotropidae as the sister group to a clade of limpet-shaped families uniting Capulidae with Calyptraeidae, Vanikoridae and Hipponicidae.
Characteristics (from Simone 2002 and Beechey 2007): Shell cap-shaped or high-spired coil, with a thick (often spiky) periostracum. Snout with a long ventral projection ('pseudoproboscis') used in collecting food. Osphradium monopectinate with triangular filaments on right side only.
