The Capulidae, the cap snails or cap shells, are a taxonomic family of limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.Gofas, S. (2012). Capulidae. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=139 on 2012-07-24 Capulidae is the only family in the superfamily Capuloidea. According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Capulidae has no subfamilies.

The name Trichotropidae was previously used for this family, but this name is invalid, as it is a junior synonym.[https://www.itis.gov/servlet/SingleRpt/SingleRpt?search_topic=TSN&search_value=72589 ITIS Capulidae Fleming, 1822]
