Benthodaphne is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae,.[1]
The shell is rather small and resembles Antiplanes or Spirotropis, except for the growth lines. The rather flat whorls are smooth save fine growth lines such as in Daphnella.[2]
Distribution
This marine genus is found off Japan.
