A taxonomic family of gastropods or mollusks that includes the Alectrion genus and related rooster-like sea snails.
From the genus Alectrion plus '-idae' (family suffix), following Linnaean taxonomy's convention for naming biological families.
The '-idae' suffix marks a family in taxonomy—so Alectrionidae means 'rooster snail family,' keeping that same whimsical naming convention across an entire group of mollusks.
