Leptothyra is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Colloniidae.[2]
This genus was previously placed in the family Turbinidae.
The name Leptothyra is generally attributed to Pease (1869), and the name "Leptothyra Pease, 1869" is usually treated as a valid name for small colloniines. Although Leptothyra is a junior objective synonym of Homalopoma, the species usually treated as valid in that genus are provisionally listed in WoRMS under "Leptothyra sensu Pease, 1869", pending a taxonomic/nomenclatural reappraisal.[2]
Leptothyra J. G. Cooper, 1867 is now considered a junior objective synonym of the genus Homalopoma Carpenter, 1864 [3]
Description
The small, solid shell has a turbinate or globose shape. The operculum is multispiral with a subcentral nucleus and concave in the centre outside. The main character distinguishing Collonia from Leptothyra seems to be the peculiar peristome of the former.[4]
