Velutinidae is a family of small sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha.Gofas, S. (2014). Velutinidae Gray, 1840. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=143 on 2014-10-14Philippe Bouchet, Rocroi J.P., Hausdorf B., Kaim A., Kano Y., Nützel A., Parkhaev P., Schrödl M. & Strong E.E. (2017). Revised classification, nomenclator and typification of gastropod and monoplacophoran families. Malacologia. 61(1-2): 1-526. The shell of these animals is very thin and delicate, and internal, completely covered by the mantle (which has fused lobes) so the appearance of these animals more closely resembles that of sea slugs rather than sea snails. Taxonomy The following two subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005): * Subfamily Velutininae J. E. Gray, 1840 - synonyms: Marseniidae Leach in Gray, 1847; Marsenininae Odhner, 1913; Capulacmaeinae Golikov & Gulbin, 19 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Coriocella Nigra
''Coriocella nigra'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Velutinidae. An Indo-Pacific species, it lives on rocks at depths of up to 15 m. It is up to 10 cm long and has an internal shell; body color is black or brown. ''C. nigra'' is probably a predator of tunicates. Taxonomy This species was described as ''Coriocella nigra'' by French zoologist Henri Marie Ducrotay de Blainville in 1824 and he placed it in the newly established genus ''Coriocella'' as its only species at that time. ''Coriocella nigra'' is the type species of the genus ''Coriocella''. Nowadays, at least six other species are recognized in the genus ''Coriocella'' and Blainville's binomial name is still treated as valid and in use. Distribution The distribution of ''Coriocella nigra'' is Indo-Pacific and includes South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
