Dolomena is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.[1]

The name of the genus Dolomena was originally introduced by Iredale in 1931, but he didn't provide a description.[2] Therefore he wasn't accepted as the author of this genus (Art. 13.1 of the ICZN Code)
