Simnia spelta

Classification

Class: Gastropoda
Order: Littorinimorpha
Family: Ovulidae

Simnia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Ovulidae. Taxonomy Dolin & Ledon (2002) considered that the lectotype of Simnia nicaeensis Risso, 1826, type species of Simnia, is a juvenile specimen of Simnia spelta (Linnaeus, 1758) type species of Neosimnia Fischer, 1884. This makes Simnia an objective synonym of Neosimnia.
