Sinezona Explained
Sinezona is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Scissurellidae, the little slit shells.[1]
Description
The shell has turbinate or depressed turbinate form. The anal fissure is closed, forming a foramen in the outer wall of the aperture. Theslit fasciole is shorter, not over 1½ whorls in length.
Sinezona is a Scissurella in which the anal slit becomes closed in the adult, and transformed into an oblong perforation like one of the holes of a Haliotis.[2]
Distribution
This marine genus occurs worldwide.
