Turbonilla is a large genus of ectoparasitic sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.[1][2][3]
This genus in its present state is not monophyletic. Many species may end up reclassified in other genera. (personal communication by Philippe Bouchet, chief editor of the Mollusca in WoRMS).[4]
