Eoacmaea is a genus of sea snails or true limpets, marine gastropod mollusks in the clade Patellogastropoda, the true limpets.

Eoacmaea is the only genus in the family Eoacmaeidae, that is the only family in the superfamily Eoacmaeoidea.

Etymology

The generic name Eoacmaea is composed from the Eo that mean "early"[1] in Greek and Acmaea,[1] that is the genus of gastropod in family Lottiidae.

Taxonomy

The family Eoacmaeidae was established by Nakano & Ozawa (2007)[1] for the genus Eoacmaea.
