Adinassa

Adinassa is a small genus of African sea snails in the family Nassariidae (unassigned in a subfamily).[1][3] The type species was originally named Adinopsis skoogi in 1923, though the genus name Adinopsis had already been used for a genus of beetles five years earlier.[3] Nearly 100 years later, the genus was renamed Adinassa and two new species were described.[1]
