Nannamoria is a small taxonomic genus of small-sized sea snails, predatory marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Amoriinae of the family Volutidae, the volutes. [1]
Nannamoria volutes are endemic to Australia. They are found on the east and southern coast, in deep water on the outer continental shelf.
The shells of Nannamoria have a small blunt protoconch, their overall shape varies but most species have a shoulder with nodules or spines. The base colour of the shells of Nannamoria is white, and they are overlaid with brown axial lines.
These volutes live in very deep water and little is known about their live appearance or their biology. [2]
The genus Nannamoria includes the following species: [3]
Volutidae, common name volutes, are a taxonomic family of predatory sea snails that range in size from 9 mm to over 500 mm. They are marine gastropod mollusks. Most of the species have no operculum.
Alcithoe larochei ostenfeldi is a subspecies of very large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Cymbiolacca is a small taxonomic genus of medium-sized predatory marine gastropod mollusc in the family Volutidae, the volutes. This genus is often treated as a subgenus of Cymbiola Swainson, 1831.
Amoria is a taxonomic genus of medium-sized predatory marine gastropod in the subfamily Amoriinae, belonging to the family Volutidae.
Livonia is a genus of medium-sized Indo-Pacific predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Cymbiola is a genus of large predatory sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Ericusa is a small taxonomic genus of medium-sized predatory marine gastropod molluscs in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria canaliculata, common name the channeled volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria damonii, common name Damon's volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes. It forms a complex of attractive, large shells which has been studied extensively by Abbottsmith.
Amoria grayi, common name Gray's volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria jamrachii is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes. It was named after Charles Jamrach, an animal dealer in London, by Dr. John Edward Gray, Keeper of Zoology at the British Museum.
Amoria molleri is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria turneri, common name Turner's volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria undulata, common name wavy volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria weldensis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria zebra, common name the zebra volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Amoria hunteri, common name Hunter's marbled volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Cymbiola nobilis is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes. The snail's shell is commonly collected in the sea shell trade, which has resulted in overharvesting of the snail.
Nannamoria amicula is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
Volutoconus grossi, common name Gross's volute or McMichael's Volute or Tin Can Bay Volute, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Volutidae, the volutes.
