Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family (taxonomy), family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants ...

Aforia Goniodes
''Aforia goniodes'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. Description The shell size varies between 40 mm and 85 mm (Original description) The high, narrow shell has a biconical shape. It is subscalar, with a long, unconstricted base and a subequal-sided snout, angulated with an expressed keel, and with regular fine spiral threads all over. The axial sculpture consists of only fine, regular, close, hair-like line of growth. The spiral sculpture shows in the middle of each whorl a strong angulation formed by the straight drooping line of the shoulder and the straight contracting line down to the inferior suture. The angulation is pinched out into a sharp round-edged keel. There are fine sharpish threads on the whole surface pretty equally distributed and of equal strength. Of these there are on the penultimate whorl below the keel about six. They are parted by flat broadish intervals, strongly scored with the lines of growt ...
