"Hinemoa" is a small genus of sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks. This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Chrysallidinae, of the family Odostomiidae.

Life habits

Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae "sensu lato", they are most likely ectoparasites.

The ultrastructure of the sperm has been investigated by Healy (1988).
