Cominella is a genus of carnivorous sea snails, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Buccinidae, the true whelks.[3][4][2]

Description

A live Cominella adspersa at Castlepoint, New Zealand.

Cominella is a genus of medium-sized buccinoid marine snails.[5][6] All species are carnivores.[7][8]

Distribution

Many extant species are endemic to coastal waters off of New Zealand[4][5][6] and Australia (including Norfolk Island).[3] There is a rich fossil record in New Zealand.[9] Species are common within the intertidal and subtidal zone.[7][10]

Evolution

Cominella is currently classified within the family Buccinidae, although it has also been classified within the alternative families Buccinulidae and Cominellidae.[3][4][5][6][8]

Ancestors of Cominella species in Australia likely migrated from New Zealand via long-distance egg rafting, despite taxa exhibiting direct development.[3] Cominella is closely related to the genus Pareuthria.[3]
