Cominella is a genus of carnivorous sea snails, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Cominellidae.^[3]^[4]^[2]

Description[edit]

Cominella is a genus of medium-sized buccinoid marine snails.^[5]^[6] All species are carnivores.^[7]^[8]

Distribution[edit]

Many extant species are endemic to coastal waters off of New Zealand^[4]^[5]^[6] and Australia (including Norfolk Island).^[3] There is a rich fossil record in New Zealand.^[9] Species are common within the intertidal and subtidal zone.^[7]^[10]

Evolution[edit]

Cominella is currently classified within the family Buccinidae, although it has also been classified within the alternative families Buccinulidae and Cominellidae.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[8]

Ancestors of Cominella species in Australia likely migrated from New Zealand via long-distance egg rafting, despite taxa exhibiting direct development.^[3] Cominella is closely related to the genus Pareuthria.^[3]
