Microcarina is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks, unassigned in the superfamily Seguenzioidea. [1]

A genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms, as well as viruses, in biology. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
