Description

Pseudogadila is a genus known for its relatively stout and often slightly curved shells, which can exhibit a variety of surface textures, from smooth to finely striated. Like other members of the Gadilidae family, Pseudogadila species are benthic dwellers, living within the sediment and feeding on microscopic plankton and detritus filtered from the water.
