Description

Microsconsia is a genus of small, marine gastropods with compact, thick-shelled bodies. The shells are characterized by their small size, rounded shape, and the presence of fine sculpturing or ridges. The aperture is relatively wide for the shell's size, and the lip is often thickened. Species of Microsconsia are found in a variety of marine environments, ranging from shallow waters to deeper offshore habitats. They are adapted to a predatory lifestyle, mainly preying on small marine invertebrates.
