Oliva (gastropod)
''Oliva'' is a genus of medium-sized to large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Olivinae of thefamily Olividae, the olive snails or olive shells. Many former species of ''Oliva'' have been reclassified under genus ''Americoliva''. Species According to the World Register of Marine Species, the genus ''Oliva'' includes the following accepted species: * '' Oliva amethystina'' (Röding, 1798) ** '' Oliva amethystina guttata'' (Lamarck, 1811) * '' Oliva angustata'' Marrat, 1868 * '' Oliva annulata'' (Gmelin, 1791) (''nomen dubium'') * '' Oliva atalina'' Duclos, 1835 * '' Oliva athenia'' Duclos, 1835 * ''Oliva australis'' Duclos, 1835 * ''Oliva bahamasensis'' Petuch & Sargent, 1986 * ''Oliva baileyi'' Petuch, 1979 * † ''Oliva balteata'' Raven & Recourt, 2018 * ''Oliva barbadensis'' Petuch & Sargent, 1986 * ''Oliva bathyalis'' Petuch & Sargent, 1986 * ''Oliva bayeri'' Petuch, 2001 * † ''Oliva bekenuensis'' Raven & Recourt, 2018 * ''Oliva bewleyi'' Marrat, ...

Gastropod Shell
The gastropod shell is part of the body of a Gastropoda, gastropod or snail, a kind of mollusc. The shell is an exoskeleton, which protects from predators, mechanical damage, and dehydration, but also serves for muscle attachment and calcium storage. Some gastropods appear shell-less (slugs) but may have a remnant within the mantle, or in some cases the shell is reduced such that the body cannot be retracted within it (semi-slug). Some snails also possess an operculum that seals the opening of the shell, known as the Aperture (mollusc), aperture, which provides further protection. The study of mollusc shells is known as conchology. The biological study of gastropods, and other molluscs in general, is malacology. Shell morphology terms vary by species group. Shell layers The gastropod shell has three major layers secreted by the Mantle (mollusc), mantle. The calcareous central layer, tracum, is typically made of calcium carbonate precipitated into an organic matrix known as c ...

Nomen Dubium
In binomial nomenclature, a ''nomen dubium'' (Latin for "doubtful name", plural ''nomina dubia'') is a scientific name that is of unknown or doubtful application. Zoology In case of a ''nomen dubium'' it may be impossible to determine whether a specimen belongs to that group or not. This may happen if the original type series (i. e. holotype, isotype, syntype or paratype) is lost or destroyed. The zoological and botanical codes allow for a new type specimen, or neotype, to be chosen in this case. A name may also be considered a ''nomen dubium'' if its name-bearing type is fragmentary or lacking important diagnostic features (this is often the case for species known only as fossils). To preserve stability of names, the ''International Code of Zoological Nomenclature'' allows a new type specimen, or neotype, to be chosen for a ''nomen dubium'' in this case. 75.5. Replacement of unidentifiable name-bearing type by a neotype. When an author considers that the taxonomic identity of a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
