Galeodes Röding, 1798 (non Olivi, 1791) Melongena is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Melongenidae, the crown conches and their allies.

However, phylogenetic analysis indicate that there are only three species in the Western Atlantic, with all snails in coastal Florida being referred to Melongena corona.

It appears that three nominally valid species occur in the tropics of the western Atlantic: one in Florida, one in the Yucatan, and one in Central America and the Caribbean.

Species within this genus live in the tropical intertidal zone, in muddy areas such as under mangrove trees.

Melongena snails are carnivorous, primarily preying on small bivalves (clams, mussels and oysters).
