Terebrellidae is an extinct family of sea snails, fossil marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Sorbeoconcha.[2] However Terebrellidae is not a valid name.[2]

According to the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Terebrellidae has no subfamilies.

Genera

Terebrella Andreae, 1887[3] is the type genus of the family Terebrellidae, it is a junior homonym of Terebrella Maltzan, 1886.[4][2]

Trypetes Tomlin, 1929[5] is a nomen novum for Terebrella Andreae, 1887. Trypetes Tomlin, 1929 is also a homonym, so another nomen novum has been established: Diatrypesis Tomlin, 1929[6] is a nomen novum for Trypetes Tomlin, 1929.

Kaim (2004) classified the genus Diatrypesis in an uncertain family within the Cerithioidea.[7]
