Short description: Genus of gastropods
Ganula is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Hygromiidae.[2]
The species of this genus are found in Mediterranean.[2] The shells are usually small, yellowish, and opaque, with five or five-and-a-half whorls.[1] Specifically, the genus is defined by a genital duct with a very short proximal vagina, and certain other features, such as microstructures on the shell.[1]
