Boonea

Odostomia (Boonea) Robertson, 1978 Boonea is a small genus of small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks.

[2] This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Odostomiinae, of the family Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)).

The vast majority of the species within this genus are only known to be distributed within North American waters, Hudson Bay is a very populated location for the Boonea genus.

As most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely ectoparasites.

The species Boonea impressa is known to be a severe pest of the edible oyster Crassostrea virginica (Wilson, Powell & Ray, 1988).
