Cyphoma Cassidyae
''Cyphoma'' is a genus of predatory tropical sea snails, a taxonomic group of marine gastropod molluscs in the family Ovulidae, a family which is sometimes known as the false cowries or cowry allies. Distribution Cyphoma snails live in tropical oceans and seas. Habitat Species in this genus live on sea whips and sea fans. Life habits Cyphoma snails feed by grazing on the sea fans or sea whips which they inhabit. The males can be territorial, defending part of the sea fan from encroachment by other males. Species Species within the genus ''Cyphoma'' include: * '' Cyphoma arturi'' Fehse, 2006 * '' Cyphoma aureocinctum'' ( Dall, 1889) - gold-line cyphoma * '' Cyphoma cassidyae'' Lorenz, 2020 * ''Cyphoma christahemmenae'' (Fehse, 1997) * '' Cyphoma eludens'' Lorenz & J. Brown, 2015 * '' Cyphoma emarginatum'' ( Sowerby, 1830) * '' Cyphoma gibbosum'' (Linnaeus, 1758) - flamingo tongue snail * '' Cyphoma guerrinii'' Fehse, 2001 * '' Cyphoma intermedium'' ( Sowerby, 1828) * ' ...

Cyphoma Gibbosum
The flamingo tongue snail (''Cyphoma gibbosum'') is a species of small but brightly colored sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Ovulidae, the cowry allies. Distribution This is the most common of several species in the genus ''Cyphoma'', which lives in the tropical waters of the western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to northern coast of Brazil, including off Bermuda, in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, and off the Lesser Antilles . Three species of ''Cyphoma'', known as ''Cyphoma gibbosum'', ''Cyphoma signatum'' and ''Cyphoma mcgintyi'' have been found to be genetically similar even though their phenotypes suggest otherwise. The species of ''Cyphoma signatum'' and ''Cyphoma mcgintyi'' can be distinguished from their different patterns; whether having a fingertip pattern or brown dots. However, if these two species were being distinguished based on their morphological features, it would be difficult to differentiate them. The genotype of these sp ...

10th Edition Of Systema Naturae
The 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' is a book written by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus and published in two volumes in 1758 and 1759, which marks the starting point of zoological nomenclature. In it, Linnaeus introduced binomial nomenclature for animals, something he had already done for plants in his 1753 publication of '' Species Plantarum''. Starting point Before 1758, most biological catalogues had used polynomial names for the taxa included, including earlier editions of ''Systema Naturae''. The first work to consistently apply binomial nomenclature across the animal kingdom was the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature therefore chose 1 January 1758 as the "starting point" for zoological nomenclature, and asserted that the 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae'' was to be treated as if published on that date. Names published before that date are unavailable, even if they would otherwise satisfy the rules. The only ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his Nobility#Ennoblement, ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In ...
