The distribution of the genus Cecina includes the Sea of Japan in Primorsky Krai, Russia, [2] Japan [4] and Washington state, USA. [5]

Species

In 1861, Arthur Adams described the genus Cecina as a monotypic genus with Cecina manchurica as the only species. [1] [4] The current classification of Cecina follows Davis (1979) [4] and other authors. [6]

In 1996, Larisa A. Prozorova reviewed the genus, described 6 new species of Cecina and re-established Cecina tatarica as a separate species. [2] [7]

There are eight [2] species within the genus Cecina:
