Genus of sea snails
Cecina is a genus of sea snails which have a gill and an operculum , gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pomatiopsidae .[ 1]
They live in shallow waters in littoral and supralittoral habitats.[ 3]
The habitat of Cecina manchurica includes decaying seaweed[ 4] stranded on the beach.
The distribution of the genus Cecina includes the Sea of Japan in Primorsky Krai , Russia,[ 3] Japan[ 4] and Washington state , USA.[ 5]
In 1861, Arthur Adams described the genus Cecina as a monotypic genus with Cecina manchurica as the only species.[ 2] [ 4]
The current classification of Cecina follows Davis (1979)[ 4] and other authors.[ 6]
In 1996, Larisa A. Prozorova reviewed the genus, described 6 new species of Cecina and re-established Cecina tatarica as a separate species.[ 3] [ 7]
There are eight[ 3] species within the genus Cecina :
