Laseronella

Laseronella is a small genus of sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae of the family Odostomiidae. It has both recent and fossil (Tertiary) members. The name is a replacement name for Pandorella Laseron, 1951, that is preoccupied by "Pandorella" Conrad, 1862, another mollusk.

Life habits

Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely to be ectoparasites.

Species

Species within the genus Laseronella include:

  • Laseronella declivita (Laseron, 1951) (Type species) (as Pandorella declivita)
  • ...
gollark: Yes. It's a great way to mildly infuriate people, like causing APocalypses.
gollark: Best use of CB prizes: only pair them with dragons people don't like, but then give out offspring very cheaply.
gollark: I prefer shimmerscales.
gollark: Er, egg trees.
gollark: Aren't they basically just magic money trees?
