Euthria is a genus of sea snails belonging to the whelk family Tudiclidae. The genus contains many fossil and extant species.[2][1]

Distribution

The range of Euthria ranges from the Mediterranean Sea, the eastern Atlantic, regions around southern Africa and the western Indo-Pacific. Euthria erythraea is the first recorded of this genus from the Red Sea.[3] This genus shows a highs degree of endemism with an example being seen in the Canary Islands archipelago where Euthria sophiae, Euthria macarroni, Euthria candoris and Euthria silviae can be found.[4] [5]

Evolutionary history

The fossil record of this genus starts from the Eocene epoch and it continues to the modern day. During the Oligocene epoch and Neogene period, this genus har experienced a significant expansion of range from the Atlanto-Mediterranean region and the Paratethys seas.[4]
