The Skeneidae are a family of minute to small marine gastropod molluscs in the superfamily Trochoidea.[1]

The former subfamily Skeneinae (in the family Turbinidae) was loosely defined. Recent molecular evidence suggests that a number of these genera in Skeneinae probably belong to other families altogether, so many of these assignments must be regarded as provisional.[2][3] The subfamily Skeneidae has been upgraded to the status of family Skeneidae, comprising most genera formerly in the subfamily Skeneinae. But even then, the family Skeneidae represents a polyphyletic, “skeneimorph” assemblage.[4] It should be pruned of many genera which would go to the superfamily Seguenzioidea according to Kano (2008) [5] Until a researcher formally assigns them to a seguenzioid family in the literature, the database WoRMS prefers to keep them unchanged.

This family is assemblage of small to very small shells that lack a nacreous structure. The shells are white and show no color patterns.
