Otitoma


Otitoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.
This genus consists of species with a rather variable appearance. Their different morphology points to an uncommon diversification.

Taxonomy

This genus was considered a nomen dubium by Powell in 1966, until Kilburn resurrected it in 2004. He considered Thelecytharella a synonym of Otitoma. Finally in 2011 Bouchet et al. closed the debate about this genera based on molecular evidence and assigned Otitoma to the family Pseudomelatomidae.
