Eulithidium Breve
''Eulithidium'' is a genus of small colorful sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Phasianellidae, the pheasant shells. Several species in this genus were originally placed in the genus ''Eucosmia''. However, the name ''Eucosmia'' was pre-occupied in zoology for a group of moths established by Stephens in 1829. The molluscan ''Eucosmia'' was therefore called ''Eulithidium'' to distinguish it from the group of Lepidoptera. Species Species within the genus ''Eulithidium'' include: * ''Eulithidium adamsi'' (Philippi, 1853) * ''Eulithidium affine'' (C. B. Adams, 1850) * ''Eulithidium beaui'' (Robertson, 1958) * ''Eulithidium bellum'' (M. Smith, 1937) * ''Eulithidium comptum'' (Gould, 1855) * '' Eulithidium cyclostoma'' (Carpenter, 1864) * '' Eulithidium diantha'' (McLean, 1970) * ''Eulithidium macleani'' (Marincovich, 1973) * '' Eulithidium perforatum'' (Philippi, 1848) * ''Eulithidium phasianella'' (Philippi, 1849) * ''Eulithidium pterocladicum'' (Robertson, 1958) * ' ...

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 ...
