Egila is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams and their allies.
This genus is currently placed in the tribe Chrysallidini of the family Odostomiidae. It has both extant and fossil (Cenozoic) members.
Life habits
Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As is true of most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely to be ectoparasites.
Species
Species within the genus Egila include:
- Egila arcuata Laws, 1941
- Egila ektopa Pimenta & Absalão, 2004[2][3]
- Egila lacunata (Carpenter, 1857)[4] - type species, as Odostomia (Parthenia) lacunata
- Egila mayii (Tate, 1898)
