Carinaria is a genus of pelagic gastropod molluscs in the family Carinariidae.
Shells are small in relation to the size of the large elongated animal, and serving only as a protection to the viscera. The shell is a thin and transparent cap, somewhat resembling the shell of a miniature argonauta, or paper nautilus.
