Rhodopidae is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Murchisonelloidea.
[1][2] Rhodopids are small, meiofaunal organisms with worm-like body plans that differ considerably from a typical gastropod body plan, to the point that Rhodope was at one point classified as a flatworm.
[3] Genera include:[1] Molecular work has shown that this family is a basal clade of heterobranch Mollusca.
Anatomically aberrant, Rhodopidae have been shown to be related to snails of the family Murchisonellidae which all have a narrow shell with many whorls.
