. Because of all this ongoing change, different reliable sources can yield very different classifications, especially within certain poorly understood groups.) Other genus-group names are available for small shells resembling ''Gibberula''. These include ''Granula'' Jousseaume, 1875 and ''Kogomea'' Habe, 1951. They are distinguished from ''Gibberula'' only on the basis of smaller size and other rather tenuous conchological differentiations.

is distinctly notched.

Animal

Head and foot

The head is deeply divided in two. There are two short cephalic tentacles and two small anterior lobes. The eyes are a short distance behinde the tentacles. The mouth is provided with an extensible proboscis. The foot is only slightly longer than the shell when extended. In some species, the sole lies flat on the substrate when the animal is crawling. Others have the edge of the propodium raised, developed as parapodia which fit the head/tentacles in the manner of many tectibranchs. Color pattern of the head and foot is a useful taxonomic character in all the species.

Mantle

It may be brightly coloured in the smaller species with a featureless, translucent shell, and its pattern is then continued into the

over the visceral mass. The siphon is short and inconspicuous, often bordered by a small pad.
