Sinum is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Sininae of the family Naticidae, the moon snails.^[1]

Most naticids have shells that are globular, but the shell of species in the genus Sinum is flattened to some extent, some being so flattened that they are ear-shaped.

Distribution[edit]

This marine species is cosmopolitan.
