Nannamoria is a small taxonomic genus of small-sized sea snails, predatory marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Amoriinae of the family Volutidae, the volutes.[1]
Distribution
Nannamoria volutes are endemic to Australia. They are found on the east and southern coast, in deep water on the outer continental shelf.
Shell description

Biology
These volutes live in very deep water and little is known about their live appearance or their biology.[2]
