Boonea is a small genus of small sea snails, pyramidellid gastropod mollusks.
This genus is currently placed in the subfamily Odostomiinae, of the family Pyramidellidae (according to the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005)).




Distribution


The vast majority of the species within this genus are only known to be distributed within North American waters, Hudson Bay is a very populated location for the Boonea genus.




Life habits


Little is known about the biology of the members of this genus. As most members of the Pyramidellidae sensu lato, they are most likely ectoparasites.
The species Boonea impressa is known to be a severe pest of the edible oyster Crassostrea virginica (Wilson, Powell & Ray, 1988).
