Fossarina is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trochidae, the top shells. [2]
The genus Fossarina was moved from the family Fossariidae to the newly created subfamily Fossarininae within the family Trochidae by Williams et al. in 2010.[3]
Description
The shell is auriform, a little depressed and narrowly umbilicated. The spire is short. The oval aperture is oblique. The lips are rounded. The operculum is multispiral.[4]
Distribution
This marine genus occurs off Australia , Tasmania and New Zealand; in the East China Sea.
