Laevipilina is a genus of monoplacophoran molluscs.[1] They are very small, mostly deepwater animals which have a superficially limpet-like shell.[2] All species are at approximately 2–3 mm in length, have 5 pairs of gills (except for Laevipilina hyalina, which has 6 pairs), and have 4–5 intestinal coils.[3]
