Kaiparapelta is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudococculinidae.[2] The genus has traditionally been classified as belonging to the Pseudococculinidae family, but as of 2013, molecular data indicate that this family is a non-monophyletic group, and the phylogenic position of this genus remains unsettled.[3]
