Genus of gastropods
Herpetopoma is a
genus of
sea snails ,
marine
gastropod
molluscs of the
family
Chilodontaidae .
[2]
In the past, this genus was often treated as a subgenus of
Euchelus . However, this genus may prove to be a composite taxon, given the diversity of the shell forms.
[3]
The shell has a turbinate-conic shape as in
Euchelus . The
spire is elevated. The
operculum is multispiral as in a typical
Trochus and with more, less rapidly expanding
whorls compared with Euchelus .
[4] Species in this genus has typically two teeth, joined by a U-shaped notch, where the
columella and the basal lips join.
