Taxonomy

The genus Arene (and also the genus Cinysca ) are placed within the family Areneidae, although Areneidae was not officially described as a taxon name. [1] Areneidae was provisionally placed within the superfamily Angarioidea, according to Williams et al. (2008) [2] . It now belongs to the superfamily Trochoidea. [1]


Characteristics

(Original description) The shell is radially patterned with red pigmentation. The whorls are muricated (sculpted with sharp, pointed processes or scales). The body whorl is either stellate (star-like) at the periphery or possesses a strong peripheral keel and angulation. The peristome (the edge of the aperture) is characterized by one or more varixes (thickened ridges), rendering it more or less varicose. [3]
