# Triphora (gastropod)

Triphora is a genus of very small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Triphorinae of the family Triphoridae.
The genus was named by Blainville in 1828, and the type species is Triphora gemmata Blainville, 1828. Like most of the other genera in this family, the shells of species in this genus are extremely high-spired with sculptural decoration, and are sinistral (left-handed) in coiling.

## Nomenclature

Species that were named in combination with Triphoris, Triforis, or Trifora, which are variant spellings of Triphora, and have not been placed elsewhere in the literature are listed here under Triphora. In such cases, where the original genus is a misspelling or emendation of the current genus, the authors and dates have not been placed in parentheses (ICZN Article 51.3.1). For Triforis of authors, see Trituba and related genera in Newtoniellidae.
