Haminoea is a genus of medium-sized sea snails or bubble snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod molluscs in the family Haminoeidae, the haminoea bubble snails, part of the clade Cephalaspidea, the headshield slugs and bubble snails.[2]

Systematics[]

Three different spellings (Haminoea, Haminea, Haminaea) were used for this genus over two hundred years. The ICZN finally made a decision that the correct spelling is Haminoea.[2]

Oskars et al. (2019) restricted Haminoea to species from the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, and resurrected and for Indo-Pacific species.[3]

Description[]

Many species within this genus have green algae growing on their shells. The posterior tip of the headshield is bilobed, except in .

Found on muddy sands especially among Eelgrass, Zostera marina. Does not swim. This species is able to change its color to correspond with its environment. The color pigments (or melanophores) in the skin can be obscured. The skin color can change in this way from dark brown to white in four to five hours. (Edlinger, Malacologia 22; 1982)
