Galeodinopsis is a genus of small marine gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Rissoidae.[1]
This genus has a fossil record in the Euro-Mediterranean area, but it now lives in the Eastern Atlantic. It lives in fully marine shelf environments.[2]
The shell is mostly conical and is white to white-yellow in color.[3]
Some species in this genus use planktotrophic larval development.[2]
