These gastropods are primarily found in deep-sea environments across various oceanic regions, including the Indo-Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The name "Tiilo" is derived from Latin or Greek origins, although its precise etymology is not well-documented.
Members of this genus are characterized by their distinct shell morphology, which often features a rounded,
