Lodderena minima, common name the minute liotia, is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Skeneidae. [1]
The size of this minute shell varies between 0.5 mm and 1.1 mm. The translucent white shell has a planorbiform shape with a flat or slightly raised spire. The shell contains about three whorls with 1½ whorl in the protoconch. The shell is devoid of ornament, except the regular spiral groove. It has, however, a remarkably thickened, smooth varix round the circular aperture, and a granularly margined, wide umbilicus. [2]
