Fossarina is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Trochidae, the top shells.
The genus Fossarina was moved from the family Fossariidae to the newly created subfamily Fossarininae within the family Trochidae by Williams et al. in 2010.[2]
Description
The shell is auriform, a little depressed and narrowly umbilicated. The spire is short. The oval aperture is oblique. The lips are rounded. The operculum is multispiral.[3]
Distribution
This marine genus occurs off Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand; in the East China Sea.
