The genus Siphonaria consists of marine gastropod mollusks commonly known as false limpets. Unlike true limpets (Patellidae), Siphonaria species belong to the family Siphonariidae and are air-breathing, pulmonate molluscs. They exhibit a combination of marine and terrestrial adaptations, making them unique among limpets. Typically inhabit intertidal rocky shores, often exposed to both air and water.
