Cochlespira Maorum
''Cochlespira'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), family Cochlespiridae. Description The species in this genus are characterized by their elongated fusiform spire and a long siphonal canal. The whorls show on their edge spinose projections. The shell is moderate in size, with a subacute, few whorled, glassy protoconch. It has an elongated slender, straight siphonal canal. The Whorl (mollusc), whorls are tabulated by a sharp recurved spinose or beaded keel, between which and the suture the surface is concave, nearly smooth. The anal sulcus is deep, narrow, the fasciole separated from the suture by a beaded ridge, the outer margin of the fasciole not elevated. Type † ''Pleurotoma cristata'' Conrad, 1848. Oligocene fossil. This group is extremely close to ''Ancistrosyrinx'' Dall, 1881, the latter differing only by having the anal sulcus at the suture, with no intervening ridge, while the outer margin of the fasciole has an elevated lam ...

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 ...

Cochlespira Cedonulli
''Cochlespira cedonulli'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae,. Description The size of an adult shell varies between 20 mm and 35 mm. In view of the ambiguity of Reeve's figure it might be well to say that this species has no axial sculpture on the whorls between the carina and the base except what may be due to accidents during growth. The surface is normally smooth and polished, above and below the carina, and of a delicate pale brown color.

Cochlespira Travancorica
''Cochlespira travancorica'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. Description The size of an adult shell varies between 20 mm and 40 mm. (Original description) The smooth shell is narrowly fusiform. The colour is a dull white under a thin greyish periostracum. The shell contains 7 whorls. The tall teleoconch is pagodaform. The whorls, at about three-fourths whorl height, are sharply angulated and coronated by a thin lamella which is produced into somewhat irregular upward curved broad based spines. Above the carina the shoulder is concave. From the carina to the lower suture the outlines are straight but inclined inward below. The lines of growth are finely striated. The body whorl is carinate a little below the dentate periphery and tapers gradually to a long straight siphonal canal which is obliquely striated. The narrow aperture continues into the siphonal canal. The outer lip is slender . The broad and deep sinus is p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cochlespira Radiata
''Cochlespira radiata'', common name the common star turret, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. Description The size of an adult shell varies between 9 mm and 32 mm. (Original description) The shell is irregularly clouded with pale brown and white, or of a diffuse very pale brown. The protoconch contains two whorls, the first very small, rounded, obliquely set and partly immersed, arousing on casual inspection the unfounded suspicion that it is sinistral. The apex is sharp. The subsequent whorls (nine or ten) on the teleoconch at first show a sharp dentate peripheral keel, which afterward becomes spinous and more or less posteriorly directed. The spiral sculpture consists anteriorly of numerous rather widely separated fine threads, not granulose, but passing over rather coarse lines of growth and less crowded near the keel. The carina on the tenth whorl shows about twenty-six sharp short subtriangular spines more or les ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Cochlespira pulchella'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. ;Subspecies: * ''Cochlespira pulchella fossata'' Powell, 1969 * ''Cochlespira pulchella pulchella'' (Schepman, 1913) * ''Cochlespira pulchella semipolita'' Powell, 1969 Description The shell grows to a length of 25 mm, its diameter 9.5 mm. (Original description) The strongly keeled shell is fusiformly pagodaeform. Its color is yellowish-brown, lighter on the siphonal canal, with a narrow whitish zone below the periphery and another on the fasciole. It contains 11 whorls, of which nearly 2 form a smooth, convexly-whorled nucleus. The subsequent upper whorls are nearly smooth, but with a strong keel, which is at first spinous. The spines are horizontally spreading, but soon become more or less upturned and have the character of erect trigonal spines. On the following 3 whorls they are spreading again on the body whorl. The spines number about 20 on the body whorl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
