'''''Liotia''''' is a [[genus]] of very small [[sea snail]]s, [[marine (ocean)|marine]] [[gastropod]] [[mollusk]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Liotiidae]].<ref name="WoRMS">Bouchet, P.; Rosenberg, G. (2013). Liotia Gray, 1842. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=415570 on 2013-09-07</ref>
''Liotia'' is the type genus of the family [[Liotiidae]].
==Description==
The species in this genus are small to minute. They have a depressed or turbinate shape. They are all umbilicated with a [[nacreous]] inner layer. The thickened outer [[Lip (gastropod)|lip]], attached to the [[body whorl]] for a short length, is continuous. Where the [[Operculum (gastropod)|operculum]] has been stated, it is horny and multispiral.<ref>[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/5718909#page/523/mode/1up West American species of the genus Liotia; Transactions of The San Diego Society For Natural History vol. 7 (1934)]</ref>
