Acteonidae

Acteon punctocoelata, copyright J. Goddard.

Belongs within: Acteonimorpha.

The Acteonidae are a group of marine gastropods of uncertain affinities. Though anatomically similar to opisthobranchs, they possess certain plesiomorphic features such as the presence of an operculum to close the shell aperture. The shell is well calcified with a distinct spire and an elongate aperture. The radula usually lacks a rachidian tooth and possesses from five to over two hundred laterals each side.
