Otitoma is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pseudomelatomidae.[2]
This genus consists of species with a rather variable appearance. Their different morphology points to an uncommon diversification.[3]
Taxonomy
This genus was considered a nomen dubium by Powell in 1966,[4] until Kilburn resurrected it in 2004.[5] He considered Thelecytharella a synonym of Otitoma. Finally in 2011 Bouchet et al. closed the debate about this genera based on molecular evidence and assigned Otitoma to the family Pseudomelatomidae.[6]
