Volvarina Jibara
''Volvarina'' is a genus of small to very small sea snails, marine (ocean), marine gastropod molluscs in the family Marginellidae, the margin shells. The difference between the genera ''Volvarina'' and ''Prunum'' is not clearly delineated and is based on morphology (biology), morphological differences in the shells. Larger species with a strong callus are classified under ''Prunum'', while the slender species with a thin callus are classified under ''Volvarina''. Many species with characteristics that fall between the two extremes are ambiguous. Until at least 2010 there was no phylogenetic analysis to substantiate this classification.
