Rissoina bruguieri, copyright H. Zell.

Belongs within: Rissooidea.

Rissoina is a cosmopolitan genus of small, high-spired marine gastropods in which the aperture of the last whorl extends distinctly beyond the curve of the spire. Ornamentation of the shell varies between species from clathrate to smooth.

Characters (from Oldroyd 1927): Shell rissoiform, ribbed or cancellated, whorls numerous, apex mamillated; aperture semilunar, lip thickened within, a little reflected, anteriorly effuse or faintly channeled. Operculum corneous, thick, semilunar, paucispiral, with claviform process on internal face.
