Ransoniella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Erroneinae of the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.[1] Most species in this genus have become a synonym of species in Notadusta Schilder, 1935
Taxonomy
The taxonomy of Ransoniella proposed by Dolin (2007) is controversial. However, as it has not been refuted in print, it was followed here in WoRMS. Ideally, Dolin's species will have to be tested by molecular characters.[1]
