Cecina is a genus of sea snails which have a gill and an operculum, gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pomatiopsidae.[1]
They live in shallow waters in littoral and supralittoral habitats.[3]
Distribution[edit]
The distribution of the genus Cecina includes the Sea of Japan in Primorsky Krai, Russia,[3] Japan[4] and Washington state, USA.[5]
Species[edit]
In 1861, Arthur Adams described the genus Cecina as a monotypic genus with Cecina manchurica as the only species.[2][4] The current classification of Cecina follows Davis (1979)[4] and other authors.[6]
In 1996, Larisa A. Prozorova reviewed the genus, described 6 new species of Cecina and re-established Cecina tatarica as a separate species.[3][7]
There are eight[3] species within the genus Cecina:
- Cecina alta Prozorova, 1996[7][8]
- Cecina elenae Prozorova, 1996[7]
- Cecina kunashirica Prozorova, 1996[7]
- Cecina manchurica A. Adams, 1861[3][7][9] - type species[4]
- Cecina murshudovi Prozorova, 1996[7]
- Cecina satrae Prozorova, 1996[7]
- Cecina scarlatoi Prozorova, 1996[3][7]
- Cecina tatarica (Schrenck, 1867)[3][7]
