Nebularia is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks within the family of Mitridae.[1] This name was originally proposed as a subgenus of the genus Mitra. The type species of this genus is Nebularia contracta Swainson, 1820.
Commentary
In 1991, Cernohorsky considered that the subgenus Nebularia does not form a well-defined group.[2]
In 2001, Thorsson and Salisbury used the tern Nebularia as a group (and not as a valid taxonomic name), for species related to the type species Mitra coronata.[3]
