Cecina is a genus of sea snails which have a gill and an operculum, gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Pomatiopsidae.[3]

They live in shallow waters in littoral and supralittoral habitats.[2]

## Distribution

[edit]

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,[2] Japan[4] and Washington state, USA.[5]

## Species

[edit]

In 1861, Arthur Adams described the genus Cecina as a monotypic genus with Cecina manchurica as the only species.[1][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.[2][7]

There are eight[2] species within the genus Cecina:

* Cecina alta Prozorova, 1996[7][8]
* Cecina elenae Prozorova, 1996[7]
* Cecina kunashirica Prozorova, 1996[7]
* Cecina manchurica A. Adams, 1861[2][7][9] \- type species[4]
* Cecina murshudovi Prozorova, 1996[7]
* Cecina satrae Prozorova, 1996[7]
* Cecina scarlatoi Prozorova, 1996[2][7]
* Cecina tatarica (Schrenck, 1867)[2][7]
