Oliva (gastropod)

Oliva is a genus of medium-sized to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Olividae, the olive snails or olive shells.

Subsequent to the publication of the Tursch & Greifeneder (2001) book entitled Olive shells: The genus Oliva and the species problem came out, the classification of Oliva species has changed considerably, since a number of what were previously considered to be species are now considered to be only forms of a lot fewer species. This list does not yet reflect those changes.
