Subgenus Nassarius (Hima) Leach in Gray, 1852
- Hima Leach in Gray, 1852 [as incrassatum Ström; [in Gray] The Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 20: 269; Three nominal species were originally included in Hinia: Hinia minuta. Nassa. [Hinia] reticulata. [Hinia] laevigata. Planaxis mollis, Sow. The same three species were included in Hima [Leach, 1852, A synopsis of the Mollusca of Great Britain [MS work edited by Gray]: 122, 123], which is thus clearly an incorrect subsequent spelling. However, Cossmann [1901, Essais de paléoconchologie comparée, 4: 204, 210] treated Hinia and Hima as two different valid names. Woodring's [1928, Carnegie Institution of Washington, Publication 385: 265] type designation for Hima is ambiguous, but Marwick [1931, New Zealand Geological Survey Palaeontological Bulletin, 13: 115] designated Buccinum minutum Pennant, 1777, as type species of Hima. Invalid: junior objective synonym of Tritia, with the same type species. See also Hinea].
Type species:

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London 1851(19): 94-112 [111] [Wenz, 1943, Handbuch der Paläozoologie, 6(1): 1237, gave Tritonium incrassatum Müller as type species, but this was not an originally included species. Invalid: junior homonym of Tritonella Swainson, 1839 [Amphibia]].
