Odetta is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Odostomiinae, which is a voluminous taxon of minute marine gastropods with a heterostrophic protoconch.[1]
Taxonomy[edit]
According to Gary Rosenberg's Malacolog however, "Odetta" is not a valid genus name. It is considered to be an unavailable name, because it was published as a "nomen nudum". However, by including the type species in Megastomia, Peñas & Rolán (1999) implicitly treated Odetta as a synonym of Megastomia, contra van Aartsen, Gittenberger & Goud (1998) who hold it as a valid genus and are followed by the database WoRMS.
