Nebularia is a
genus of predatory
sea snails ,
marine
gastropod
mollusks in the subfamily
Cylindromitrinae within the
family of
Mitridae .
[1] This name was originally proposed as a subgenus of the
genus
Mitra . The type species of this genus is Mitra contracta Swainson, 1820 .
Taxonomy
In 1991, Cernohorsky considered that the subgenus Nebularia does not form a well-defined group.
[2]
In 2001, Thorsson and Salisbury used the tern Nebularia as a group (and not as a valid taxonomic name), for species related to the type species Mitra coronata .
[3]
Description
The shell is impressed with transverse grooves. The
body whorl is anteriorly contracted. The
aperture is narrow behind, effuse in front. The margin of the outer
lip is smooth.
