Ethaliella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Trochidae, the top snails. [1] [2]

Contents

Description

This genus is characterized by a depressed, openly umbilicated, smoothish shell. The peristome is obtuse. The columellar margin is dilated, partly vaulting over the umbilicus, which is radially sulcate within and has a very low, wide and rounded marginal cord.

This genus comprises species related to Monilea , Ethalia and Isanda , but with features of the columellar lip and umbilicus unlike either. Minolia and its boreal ally Solariella differ by the almost or quite unexpanded columellar margin. [3]

Distribution

This marine genus occurs off Japan, the Philippines and in the East China Sea.
