Trivia is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Triviidae, the trivias.[1]
These are known in Britain as "cowries". The shell of these species does superficially resemble the shell of a very small cowry, but Trivia species are not very closely related to true cowries.
