Austroliotia Botanica
''Austroliotia botanica'', common name the Botany Bay liotia, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Liotiidae. Description (Original description by Charles Hedley) The height of the shell attains 7 mm. The solid, subdiscoidal, cream-colored shell is convex above. It contains 4½ rounded whorls that are rather loosely coiled. The last whorl increases rapidly, slightly ascends, and then suddenly descends to its termination. Sculpture : the whole shell is beautifully and delicately cancellated. There are seven spiral cords, two on the shoulder, three on the periphery, one at the margin of the umbilicus and one within it. The upper pair ascend the spire, the lowest peripheral is stronger than the rest. On the last whorl, there are about twenty radials. These ascend the spire, projecting like spokes over the suture. Arising in the sutural trench, they are dormant on the shoulder and are strongly expressed on the periphery. They again fade on the b ...

Austroliotia Scalaris
''Austroliotia scalaris'', is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Liotiidae. Liotiids are commonly known as wheel shells.

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 ...

Sea Snail
Sea snail is a common name for slow-moving marine gastropod molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible shell. Definition Determining whether some gastropods should be called sea snails is not always easy. Some species that live in brackish water (such as certain neritids) can be listed as either freshwater snails or marine snails, and some species that live at or just above the high tide level (for example species in the genus '' Truncatella'') are sometimes considered to be sea snails and sometimes listed as land snails. Anatomy Sea snails are a very large group of animals and a very diverse one. Most snails that live in salt water respire using a gill or gills; a few species, though, have a lung, are intertidal, and are active only at low tide when they can move around in the air. These air-breathing species includ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
