Cheirodonta
Marshall
, 1983
Type
species.
Cerithium perversum
var.
pallescens
Jeffreys, 1867
; original designation. Recent, eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Diagnosis.
Embryonic shell with hemispherical and arrowhead-shaped granules; larval shell with two spiral cords crossed by axial ribs; teleoconch with late development of median spiral cord; suture faintly distinct; posterior canal almost detached from aperture; presence of supranumerical cords; radular formula (6–8)-1-1-1-(6– 8), central tooth (seven to nine cusps) and lateral teeth (eight to nine cusps) are short and broad, all marginal teeth (seven to 13 cusps) or outermost teeth hand-like with elongate basal shafts (partly based on
Marshall

).
Remarks.
The genus has up to now six species worldwide (
Bouchet & Gofas 2014
), four in the western Atlantic (
Rosenberg 2009
). However, species previously assigned to
Cheirodonta
in the Caribbean actually belong to
Nanaphora
; see remarks of
Nanaphora verbernei
(Moolenbeek & Faber)
