Cominella is a
genus of carnivorous
sea snails , a
marine
gastropod
mollusc in the
family
Cominellidae .

Description
A live
Cominella adspersa at Castlepoint, New Zealand.
Cominella is a genus of medium-sized
buccinoid marine snails.
[5]
[6] All species are carnivores.
[7]
[8]
Distribution
Many extant species are endemic to coastal waters off of
New Zealand
[4]
[5]
[6] and
Australia (including
Norfolk Island ).
[3] There is a rich fossil record in New Zealand.
[9] Species are common within the intertidal and subtidal zone.
[7]
[10]
Evolution
Cominella is currently classified within the family
Buccinidae , although it has also been classified within the alternative families
Buccinulidae and
Cominellidae .
[3]
[4]
[5]
[6]
[8]
Ancestors of Cominella species in Australia likely migrated from New Zealand via long-distance egg rafting, despite taxa exhibiting
direct development .
[3] Cominella is closely related to the genus
Pareuthria .
