The family Omalogyridae comprises some of the smallest known marine snails. [] Key Result The new species, Ammonicera mcleani, A. mexicana and A. sleursi, are the first omalogyrid species described from the Eastern Pacific coast of North America. Redescriptions of the Australian omalogyrids Ammonicera sucina (Laseron, 1954) and Omalogyra liliputia (Laseron, 1954) are also presented, detailing for the first time ultrastructural aspects of their shell morphology.

A new species of the genus Ammonicera (Prosobranchia, Omalogyridae) in a coralline algae community from Jeju Island, off the south coast of Korea
TLDR
This new species can be clearly distinguished from other Ammonicera species from the Pacific Ocean by the presence of a spiral cord and about 25 slightly-elevated axial ribs, resulting in about 25 nodules at intersecting points of the cord and ribs on the last whorl of the teleoconch.

Morphological, ecological and molecular characterization of the enigmatic planispiral snail genus Adeuomphalus (Vetigastropoda: Seguenzioidea)
TLDR
Examining newly collected and museum-stored specimens from upper to lower bathyal depths in the Atlantic, Mediterranean, Pacific and Indian Oceans and recognizing seven recent species revealed six monophyletic groups in Seguenzioidea: Seguenziidae, Chilodontidae, Calliotropidae, Cataegidae, Spinicalliotropis and skenei- morph seguenzIOids.
New records of Caribbean Gastropods (Skeneidae, Tornidae, Orbitestellidae and Omalogyridae) for Saint Peter and Saint Paul Archipelago (Brazil)
TLDR
It is believed that the taxa studied have a circum-Caribbean distribution and are dispersed from the Caribbean and northeastern portion of South America to the SPSPA under the influence of the equatorial subcurrent, occupying seamounts and/or oceanic banks in a gradient fashion.

TLDR
A two-year systematic survey was conducted in a rocky exposed shore located at Porto das Baleias in the north coast of São Miguel Island and suppos-edly representative of the Azorean rocky shores, where zonation of the littoral molluscs was established for the most abundant species and possible mollUScs/algae biological associations were studied.
