Macrarene is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Liotiidae within the superfamily Trochoidea, the top snails, turban snails and their allies. [1]
The white shells have a turbinate shape and a broad umbilicus. They are characterized by axial ribs and spiral cords, that form spines at their intersections. The lip is not thickened at maturity. It differs from the closely related genus Arene through its lack of shell pigments and in the spacing of the axial sculpture. [2]
