Purpura nodulosaC. B. Adams, 1845

Claremontiella is a genus of small, predatory sea snails, related to the genera Tenguella and Muricodrupa. Its members are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. [1]

Contents

In 2013, genetic analysis indicated that Morula nodulosa was not closely related to the main group of Morula species, but rather was sister to a Tenguella – Muricodrupa clade. [2] In response, the new genus Claremontiella was proposed in 2019, including C. nodulosa as type species, its close relative C. consanguinea , [lower-alpha 1] and a newly-described species: C. adiakritos . [3] : 39–44 

Claremontiella is named in honor of researcher Martine Claremont. [3] : 40 

Species

Notes

  1. ↑ C. consanguinea was previously Morula consanguinea . It is not clear whether C. consanguinea and C. nodulosa should be treated as one or two species. Houart et al. write "Further analyses are needed before making a final decision. In the meantime C. consanguinea is here provisionally retained as a valid species."
