Strombidea is a family of gastropod comprising the following genera: Lambis Röding, 1798 (nine known living species), Strombus Linné, 1758 (55 known living species), Terebellum Lamarck, 1799 (one known living species), Tibia Röding, 1798 (six known living species), and Varicospira Eames, 1952 (three known living species).

Species See text The genus Strombus is made up of the true conches (pronounced Konk) in the family Strombidae. ... In human anatomy, the tibia (Shin Bone) is the larger of the two bones in the leg below the knee, found medial and anterior to the fibula. ...

Members of the order Mesogastropoda usually have seven teeth positioned crosswise on the radula and a reproductive organ called a verge. The family Strombidae includes the true conchs, tibias, and their allies. Most are extinct. Of the living strombids, most occur in the Indo-Pacific region. Only six species of strombids are found in the wider Carribbean region, and all of them are in the genus Strombus. Radula is the scientific name for the toothed chitinous ribbon in the mouth of gastropods. ... Species See text The genus Strombus is made up of the true conches under the family Strombidae. ... In human anatomy, the tibia (Shin Bone) is the larger of the two bones in the leg below the knee, found medial and anterior to the fibula. ... In biology and ecology, extinction is the ceasing of existence of a species or group of species. ...

Strombids have long eye stalks, a long and narrow aperture, and a siphonal canal with an indentation near the anterior end called a stromboid notch. Unlike most snails, which glide slowly across the substrate on their foot, strombids have a characteristic leaping motion, using their pointed, sickle-shaped, horny operculum to propel themselves forward in a leaping motion (Parker 1922). They grow a flared lip upon reaching sexual maturity, and they lay eggs in long, gelatinous strands. In Biology operculum (Latin for little lid) has been used to describe several completely separate features. ...
