The siphonal canal is an anatomical feature of the shells of certain groups of sea snails within the clade Neogastropoda. Some sea marine gastropods have a soft tubular anterior extension of the mantle called a siphon through which water is ...
, their more elongated
spire, and their narrower
aperture in front. This group absolutely deviates from ''Clathurella'' because of its thin outer
lip, its very deep sinus, its unpleated
columella, so that there is only a distant analogy in ornamentation. Cossmann therefore takes up for this group - as a subgenus of ''Daphnella'' - the name ''Rimosodaphnella''
