Calliotropis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eucyclidae.[2]

Taxonomy

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) the genus Calliotropis is placed in the subfamily Calliotropinae within the family Chilodontidae.

New insights into the taxonomy of the Seguenzioidea were provided by Kano (2007).[3]

Description

The size of the shell of species in this genus is small to moderate. The iridescent shell is thin and contains a conspicuous umbilicus. Its sculpture shows spiral rows with many tubercles.

The shells resemble Solariella, but differ in the radula, which is longer, with a larger number of uncini. The teeth of the median part are less denticulated.[4]
