Sinezona [Sinezona]
Description
Sinezona is a genus within the family Scissurellidae, consisting of small, marine gastropod mollusks. These snails are known for their disk-shaped, opaque shells with a unique structural feature: a slit or a series of holes encircling the shell's margin. The genus inhabits a variety of marine habitats, ranging from shallow waters to the deep sea. Sinezona species are adapted to life on or under rocks, where they feed on biofilms and detritus, contributing to the benthic ecosystem's nutrient cycling.
