Akera is a marine genus of sea hare in the family Akeridae, known from the late Callovian (Jurassic) to the recent periods.[2][3]

Description

Akera is a primitive genus. These sea hares do not fit completely in their external shell; it just covers their visceral hump which is positioned at the posterior end of their bodies. Their streamlined bodies are adapted for burrowing.
