Mucronalia is a genus of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Eulimidae.[1]
This genus was first described in 1860 by Arthur Adams in his paper, "On some new genera and species of Mollusca from Japan".[2]
These sea snails are thought to be parasitic on ophiuroids (brittle stars).[3]
