Titiscania is a genus of slug-like sea snails, shell-less marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Neritopsoidea.[2]
Titiscania is the type genus[2] and also the only genus in the family Titiscaniidae.
The original vernacular spelling "Die Titiscanien" by Rudolph Bergh (1890)[1] was Latinized by Johannes Thiele in 1891.[2]
Excepting some parasitic forms, Titiscania is the only genus of gastropod outside of the Heterobranchia to have secondarily lost its mineralized shell,[3] which it sheds after its larval phase.[4]
Species
Species within the genus Titiscania include:
- Titiscania limacina Bergh, 1890[5]
- Titiscania shinkishihataii Taki, 1955[6]
