GENUS OLIVELLA SWAINSON, 1831 View in CoL (1)
Type species: Olivella purpurata Swainson, 1831 [= Voluta dama Mawe, 1828 ]; SD, Dall (1909).
Remarks: Olivella is conchologically rather variable, and a number of (sub)genera have been proposed. Only three species were included in our molecular analysis and, based on this limited dataset, we cannot make any conclusion on the possible subgeneric division of the genus. In the following, we list the classification proposed by Olsson (1956) with some additions and corrections.
