Die Conoidea sind eine artenreiche Überfamilie fast ausschließlich mariner Schnecken, die räuberisch leben. Die Vertreter dieser Überfamilie besitzen eine Giftdrüse, deren Gift mittels eines hohlen Giftzahns in das Opfer injiziert wird. Auf Grund dieses Merkmals werden sie auf Deutsch auch Pfeilzüngler oder Giftzüngler (früher Toxoglossa) genannt.

Conoidea is a superfamily of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the suborder Hypsogastropoda. This superfamily is a very large group of marine mollusks, estimated at 340 recent valid genera and subgenera, and considered by one authority to contain 4,000 named living species.
This superfamily includes the turrids, the terebras (also known as auger snails or auger shells) and the cones or cone snails. The phylogenetic relationships within this superfamily are poorly established. Several families (especially the Turridae), subfamilies and genera are thought to be polyphyletic.
