The Terebridae, commonly referred to as auger shells or auger snails, is a group or family of small to large predatory marine gastropods.〔Gofas, S. (2012). Terebridae. World Register of Marine Species () 2012-10-12〕 These gastropods have extremely high spired shells with numerous whorls, and the common name refers to the resemblance of their shells to rock drill-type drill bits. There are about 313 known species worldwide.〔Terryn, Y. (2007): ''A Collectors Guide to Recent Terebridae (Mollusca: Neogastropoda)''. 57 pp., 65 color plts. ConchBooks & NaturalArt, Hackenheim & Gent, ISBN 978-3-939767-01-5.〕 == Taxonomy == This family consists of two following subfamilies (according to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005): * Terebrinae Mörch, 1852 - synonyms: Acusidae; Acidae Gray, 1853 (inv.) * Pervicaciinae Rudman, 1969 However, Terryn〔 states that the subfamily Pervicaciinae would historically include solely the * ''Duplicaria'' (and the * ''Pervicaria'', now included in ''Euterebra''). The other genera would belong to the subfamily Terebrinae. Since there is no clear division and currently no taxonomic need the two subfamilies are nowadays no longer accepted.〔WoRMS (2010).
