Clavatulidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.[3] The family is not well differentiated morphologically.
Clavatulidae was raised, based on cladistic analysis, from subfamily to the family level by Rosenberg in 1998. It is no longer regarded as a subfamily of Turridae by several malacologists (Kantor, Sysoev).[2][4][5] This family has no subfamilies.
