Danilia
''Danilia'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs of the family Chilodontaidae. Previously it was considered a subgenus of '' Euchelus'' Philippi, 1847. This genus was named after the malacologist Francesco Danilo (1813- ?) Species Species within the genus ''Danilia'' include: * '' Danilia affinis'' Dautzenberg & H.

Danilia Tinei
''Danilia tinei'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae. Taxonomy Monterosato (1914) figured the holotype from Calcara's collection and distinguished as separate species the fossil '' Danilia otaviana'' (Cantraine, 1835) and the two Recent ''Danilia tinei'' and ''Danilia horrida'' (Costa, 1861) = ''costellata'' (Costa, 1861), followed in this by Palazzi & Villari (2001). The fossil species is quite convincingly distinguished by a globose shape and much finer sculpture in which the spiral elements clearly dominate. The holotype of D. tinei is also globose but has a coarse sculpture with nodose cords, whereas the common form (including that on photographs herein) should go to ''Danilia costellata'' if two species are really to be separated. This is a topic that requires further research. Description The size of the shell varies between 7 mm and 10 mm. The imperforate, solid, light brown shell has a conoidal shape with a ro ...

Danilia Affinis
''Danilia affinis'', is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae. Description The height of the shell attains 10 mm. The rather thin, imperforated shell has a conical spire and rounded, inflated body whorl. The sculpture shows elevated spiral cords, slightly unequal in size and narrower than interspaces, crossed by minute and numerous prosocline lamellae which override the cords. The peristome is flaring in adult shells, with a distinct outer varix and with internal denticles elongated in the spiral direction. The columella has a strong denticle. The colour of the shell is whitish with the inner nacre showing through, with vague brownish flames on specimens from shallower sites. The inside of the round aperture is nacreous. This species is distinguished from ''Danilia tinei'' in having the axial lamellae minute and about three times more numerous, the whitish colour and the more inflated and more fragile shell, with more convex who ...

Danilia Telebathia
''Danilia telebathia'' is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae. Description The height of the shell attains 11 mm. The thin and slightly nacreous, imperforate shell has an ovate shape. The shell contains seven whorls, the first wound horizontally, thus giving the spire a decapitated aspect. The median whorls are separated by a channeled suture, flattened on the shoulder and subangled at the periphery, the last slightly descending behind the aperture. Colour : Pale yellowish beige with scattered irregular dashes of ochre alternate chocolate dots on the outer lip. Sculpture : The body whorl carries eleven widely spaced fine spiral cords, the peripheral strongest. Of these six appear on the penultimate and fade gradually away on the upper whorls. Both cords and interspaces are crossed by delicate oblique lamellae which rise into scales upon the cords. They are crowded on the last whorl, do not cross the suture from whorl ...

Danilia Weberi
''Danilia weberi'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae. The species was named after dr. Max Weber, the Dutch leader of the Siboga Expedition. Description (Original description by Schepman) The height of the shell attains 16 mm. The imperforate, thin, shell has a globose-conoidal shape. The spire is more or less elevated. The embryonic whorls are wanting. The remaining whorls number about 6,. They are very convex, especially the penultimate and ultimate ones, the upper whorls forming a cone. The colour of the shell is slightly variable, the ground colour is light yellowish-brown, nearly plain or with darker flames and blotches, which are always present on the varix. The majority of the specimens has two or three series of darker spots on the upper whorls and two specimens have a row of large blackish patches near the suture of the body whorl. The shell is covered with a large number of spiral lirae, often with intermediat ...

Danilia Otaviana
''Danilia otaviana'' is an extinct species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Chilodontidae.
