Aforia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cochlespiridae.[1][2]

Description[edit]

The shell resembles Irenosyrinx, but with stronger sculpture and with a paucispiral operculum, bearing such a relation to the normal species of Turris as Mohnia bears to Chrysodomus.[3]
