Hainotis sharonae (Willett, 1939)
Velutinidae is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.
The shell of these animals is very thin and delicate, and internal, completely covered by the mantle (which has fused lobes) so the appearance of these animals more closely resembles that of sea slugs rather than sea snails.
They feed on tunicates.
Synonymised names:
Lamellaria sharonae Willett, 1939 (original combination)
Lamellaria sharoni Willett, 1939 (wrong genitive (named after a woman))
Marseniopsis sharonae (Willett, 1939)
