Moelleriopsis
''Moelleriopsis'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks unassigned in the superfamily Seguenzioidea. Description The small shell of these deep-water species is relatively thin. It is white under a golden brown or olive brown epidermis. It contains few, convex whorls, forming an elevated spire and large body whorl. The suture is distinct. The round and deep umbilicus has a moderate size, showing some of the whorls. The circular aperture is slightly oblique. The peristome is continuous with a thin, sharp edge, appearing thickened within. It is attached to the body whorl only for a short distance. Species Species within the genus ''Moelleriopsis'' include: * '' Moelleriopsis abyssicola'' Bush, 1897 * '' Moelleriopsis atlantis'' Hoffman, Gofas & Freiwald, 2020 * †'' Moelleriopsis carinaspira'' Lozouet, 1999 * '' Moelleriopsis gritta'' Hoffman in Hoffman, Gofas & Freiwald, 2020 * ''Moelleriopsis messanensis'' (Seguenza, 1876) * '' Moelleriopsis meteorminora'' Hoffma ...
