Claremontiella is a genus of small, predatory sea snails, related to the genera Tenguella and Muricodrupa. Its members are marine gastropod molluscs in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails. [1]
In 2013, genetic analysis indicated that Morula nodulosa was not closely related to the main group of Morula species, but rather was sister to a Tenguella–Muricodrupa clade. In response, the new genus Claremontiella was proposed in 2019, including C. nodulosa as type species, its close relative C. consanguinea, and a newly-described species: C. adiakritos.
Claremontiella is named in honor of researcher Martine Claremont.
