Broderipia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Trochidae, the top snails. [2]
The shell is limpet-shaped, non-spiral, oblong-ovate and flattened. The shell is bilaterally symmetrical when adult. The apex is either subcentral or posterior, and either remaining as a minute recumbent spiral or lost in the adult shell. The ovate aperture is very large and internally brilliantly iridescent or almost deprived of nacre. [3] [4]
