"Carinaria" is a genus of medium-sized floating sea snails, pelagic gastropod molluscs in the family Carinariidae.

hell description

The shells of species in this genus are quite small in relation to the size of the large elongated animal; the shell serves only as a protection to the viscera.

The shell is a thin and transparent cap, somewhat resembling the shell of a miniature argonauta, or paper nautilus.
