Alvinia halia (Bartsch, 1911) · | |
Alvania halia is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Rissoidae.[1]
Taxonomy
This and other Western American species were attributed to Alvinia Monterosato, 1884, following Keen (1971); nevertheless it is not proved to be more related to the Mediterranean type species Alvania weinkauffi Weinkauff, 1868 than to other Alvania s.l. and is therefore retained in Alvania. [1]

Distribution
