Boonea is a small genus of small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks.[2]

This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Odostomiinae, of the family Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)).

Distribution

The vast majority of the species within this genus are only known to be distributed within North American waters, Hudson Bay is a very populated location for the Boonea genus.

Life habits

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

The species Boonea impressa however is known to be a severe pest of the edible oyster Crassostrea virginica (Wilson, Powell & Ray, 1988)

Species

There are eleven known species within the genus Boonea, these include the following:
