Mitra is a large genus of medium to large predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Mitridae, the miter shells or miter snails. [1]
This genus is named after the ecclesiastical headgear, the miter, because of the shells' general shape.
These sea snails create shells that are considered attractive by shell collectors; the shells are solid, high-spired and are often colorful.
