Hinea brasiliana, common name the yellow-coated clusterwink, is a species of small sea snail, a gastropod mollusc in the family Planaxidae.

[3] It is native to New Zealand and southeastern Australia where it is found in the littoral zone of rocky shores.

This species was described by under the name Buccinum brasilianum by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1822 based on the shell from the collection of William Paterson.

[2] John Edward Gray moved this species to the newly created genus Hinea.

As in other members of the family Planaxidae, fertilisation is internal, and the embryos are retained in a brood chamber located behind the female's head.

The light may serve to startle or dazzle a potential predator, and is emitted while the soft parts of the snail remain protected by its shell.
