[citation needed] The shell of these species does superficially resemble the shell of a very small cowry, but Trivia species are not very closely related to true cowries.

been split into many genera, including Cleotrivia, Niveria, Pusula, Triviella, Trivirostra etc., but this information is not yet shown completely in the species list below.

There is currently no consensus about definition of the genera backed by a reliable phylogenetic scheme, for which reason all European species in the ERMS context are maintained under genus Trivia, around the type species Trivia arctica.

[1] Species within the genus Trivia include, according to the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS)[1] European species: Trivia arctica, T. candidula, T. monacha and T. multirilata Western Atlantic species with updated genera: [1]
