Haldra is a genus of pyramidellid gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the tribe Chrysallidini within the family Pyramidellidae.

Life habits[edit]

Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are likely to be ectoparasites.

Species[edit]

Species within the genus Haldra include:

  • Haldra photis (Carpenter, 1857) - type species as Odostomia (Chrysallida) photis
