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]
