Entoconcha is a genus of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae. [1]
These small snails live in the perivisceral coelom of sea cucumbers.
Species within this genus include the following:
Limacina is a genus of swimming predatory sea snails commonly known as sea butterflies in the family Limacinidae. This genus contains some of the world's most abundant gastropod species.
Nucella, common name dog whelks or dog winkles, is a genus of small to medium-sized predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Ocenebrinae which is part of the large family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Onchidiidae are a family of small, air-breathing sea slugs. They are shell-less marine pulmonate gastropod molluscs. Onchidiidae is the only family within the superfamily Onchidioidea.
Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum.
Truncatella is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the family Truncatellidae. These small and minute snails live on land, very close to seawater. They walk with a strange looping action, and the adults have truncated shells. Many of the species are small enough to be considered micromollusks.
Hipponix, common name hoof snails or hoof shells, is a genus of small sea snails with limpet-like shells, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Hipponicidae, the hoof snails. Many of the species in this genus have white shells.
Tectura is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails, true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Lottiidae.
Margarites is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Margaritidae.
Typhis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Alaba is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Litiopidae.
Fossarus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Planaxidae.
Litiopa is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Litiopidae.
Calyptraea, commonly known as the Chinese hat snails is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Calyptraeidae, a family which contains the slipper snails or slipper limpets, cup-and-saucer snails, and Chinese hat snails.
Capulus is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Capulidae, the cap snails.
Peasiella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Littorinidae, the winkles or periwinkles.
Bulbus is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
Enteroxenos is a genus of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Rissoa is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Rissoidae.
Entoconcha mirabilis is a species of very small parasitic sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Eulimidae. This species is the only one known to exist within the genus, Entoconcha. The species is parasitic on holothuroidea, sea cucumbers. As an adult it resembles a worm and has no shell.
Pedipes is a genus of small air-breathing snails, pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Pedipedinae of the family Ellobiidae.
