''Caloria quatrefagesi'' is a species of sea slug, an aeolid nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Facelinidae. Taxonomy '' Caloria elegans'' is morphologically very similar to ''Facelina quatrefagesi''. ''Facelina quatrefagesi'' was considered as a synonym of ''Caloria elegans'', but a combination of DNA evidence and morphological comparison resulted in them being recognised as separate valid species.Furfaro G., Mariottini P., Modica M.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Salvatore Trinchese
Salvatore Trinchese (4 April 1836 – 11 January 1897) was an Italian zoologist who specialised in Mollusca. Biography Salvatore Trinchese was born in Martano, a small town in the province of Lecce in Apulia, on 4 April 1836. He attended the ''Reale Collegio San Giuseppe'' of Jesuits in Lecce. In 1856 he went to Pisa to study medicine and surgery. In 1860 he graduated and obtained a scholarship which allowed him to study abroad. Thus, in the same year he moved to Paris, where he worked as a researcher in the prestigious laboratories of Claude Bernard, Henri Milne-Edwards, Emile Blanchard and Charles-Philippe Robin. During this period he started his histological studies on the nervous system and on the systematic microscopy on gastropod molluscs. In 1865 he started to teach mineralogy, geology, zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Genoa. Then he taught in Bologna and Naples. In 1886 he became the dean of the University of Naples and, after few years, was nominate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mollusc
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals after the Arthropoda, the members of which are known as molluscs or mollusks (). Around 85,000 extant species of molluscs are recognized. The number of fossil species is estimated between 60,000 and 100,000 additional species. The proportion of undescribed species is very high. Many taxa remain poorly studied. Molluscs are the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms. Numerous molluscs also live in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. They are highly diverse, not just in size and anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and habitat. The phylum is typically divided into 7 or 8 taxonomic classes, of which two are entirely extinct. Cephalopod molluscs, such as squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, are among the most neurologically advanced of all invertebrates—and either the giant squid or the colossal squid is the largest known invertebrate species.

Gastropod
The gastropods (), commonly known as snails and slugs, belong to a large taxonomic class of invertebrates within the phylum Mollusca called Gastropoda (). This class comprises snails and slugs from saltwater, from freshwater, and from land. There are many thousands of species of sea snails and slugs, as well as freshwater snails, freshwater limpets, and land snails and slugs. The class Gastropoda contains a vast total of named species, second only to the insects in overall number. The fossil history of this class goes back to the Late Cambrian. , 721 families of gastropods are known, of which 245 are extinct and appear only in the fossil record, while 476 are currently extant with or without a fossil record. Gastropoda (previously known as univalves and sometimes spelled "Gasteropoda") are a major part of the phylum Mollusca, and are the most highly diversified class in the phylum, with 65,000 to 80,000 living snail and slug species.
