Littorinimorpha is a large clade, which consists primarily of sea snail families but also includes some freshwater snails and some land snails. These are marine, aquatic, and terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the clade Hypsogastropoda.
Previous to the most up-to date taxonomic system, that of Bouchet and Rocrois as shown here in the taxobox, the Linnean taxonomy was ranked like this: subclass Orthogastropoda, superorder Caenogastropoda, order Sorbeoconcha, suborder Hypsogastropoda, infraorder Littorinimorpha.
