Puncturella is a genus of minute deepwater keyhole limpets, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets. [2]
Species in this genus include: [3]
Fissurellidae, common name the keyhole limpets and slit limpets, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Vetigastropoda.
Emarginula is a genus of small keyhole limpets, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae.
Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.
Scissurella is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Scissurellidae, the small slit snails.
Cylichna is a genus of sea snails or bubble snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Cylichnidae, the "chalice bubble snails".
Diodora is a genus of small to medium-sized keyhole limpet in the family Fissurellidae.
Acteon is a genus of small sea snails, predatory marine gastropod mollusks in the family Acteonidae, the barrel bubble snails.
Fissurisepta is a genus of keyhole limpets, marine gastropod mollusc in the family Fissurellidae.
Cocculina is a genus of sea snails, deep-sea limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cocculinidae.
Miltromorpha is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mitromorphidae, in the superfamily Conoidea the cone snails and their allies. This genus was originally described by Carpenter off the west coast of the United States. The species occur mainly on the continental shelf and in insular environments. Their real diversity is poorly understood.
Cornisepta is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.
Cranopsis was previously a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.
Profundisepta is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.
Rimula is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.
Zeidora is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets.
Cyclostrema is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Liotiidae.
Fossarus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Planaxidae.
Ringicula is a genus of minute deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks belonging to the family Ringiculidae.
Haliris is a genus of the class Bivalvia of the family Verticordiidae.
The Zeidorinae, common name keyhole limpets and slit limpets, is a taxonomic subfamily of limpet-like sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.
