Sediliopsis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.
This genus was long considered as extinct since the late Miocene, until Sedeliopsis riosi was discovered off Brazil, obviously a relict-pocket occurrence.Don I. Tippett, Taxonomic notes on the western Atlantic Turridae (Gastropoda: Conoidea); the Nautilus v. 109 (1995-1996)
