The Columbellidae, dove shells, are a group of small to medium-sized, active marine gastropods including both carnivorous and herbivorous species. The family is divided between two subfamilies: Pyreninae tend to have narrow fusiform shells, and have a radula with sigmoid lateral teeth and a narrow median tooth, whereas Columbellinae tend to have coniform or strombiform shells, and have a radula with broad and flat lateral teeth and a broader median tooth (Radwin 1977).

Within the Pyreninae, Parvanachis is a genus of small dove shells with a very squat shell ornamented with strong axial ribs (Radwin 1977). Conella species have medium-sized biconic shells that are smooth or bear microscopic spiral striae (Radwin 1978).

Characters (from Seashells of NSW): Siphonal canal very short, often little more than a gap at anterior end of aperture. Top of outer lip with sinus present, usually shallow; denticles usually present inside outer lip, occasionally just a single indistinct bulge. Inner (columellar) lip without plaits, weak denticles often present, aligned on an axial ridge just inside edge of callus.
