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. Species Species within the genus ''Otitoma'' include: * '' Otitoma astrolabensis'' Wiedrick, 2014 * '' Otitoma aureolineata'' Stahlschmidt, Poppe & Tagaro, 2018 * '' Otitoma batjanensis'' (Schepman, 1913) * '' Otitoma boucheti'' Morassi, Nappo & Bonfitto, 2017 * ''Otitoma carnicolor'' (Hervier, 1896) * '' Otitoma crassivaricosa'' Morassi, Nappo & Bonfitto, 2017 * ''Otitoma crokerensis'' (Shuto, 1983) * ''Otitoma cyclophora'' (Deshayes ...
