The Nesopupinae are a group of cylindric small snails in which the penis bears an appendix and the retractor muscle is forked. The genus Nesopupa, found in the Indo-Pacific region, has a golden-brown shell with a granular to wrinkled sculpture, and varying numbers of parietal and palatal teeth in the aperture (Stanisic et al. 2010).
