Arene is a genus of small sea snails that have a calcareous operculum, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Areneidae.[1]
The genus Arene (and also the genus Cinysca) are placed within the family Areneidae, although Areneidae was not officially described as a taxon name.[1] Areneidae was provisionally placed within the superfamily Angarioidea, according to Williams et al. (2008).[2] It now belongs to the superfamily Trochoidea.[1]
Characteristics
(Original description) The shell is radially patterned with red pigmentation. The whorls are muricated (sculpted with sharp, pointed processes or scales). The body whorl is either stellate (star-like) at the periphery or possesses a strong peripheral keel and angulation. The peristome (the edge of the aperture) is characterized by one or more varixes (thickened ridges), rendering it more or less varicose.[3]
