Fenimorea Pagodula
''Fenimorea pagodula'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Drilliidae. Description The size of an adult shell varies between 10 mm and 18 mm. (Original description) The shell resembles ''Fenimorea fucata'', but is much more slender, the fasciole less impressed. The spiral sculpture consists of fine engraved lines and the aperture is smaller and much more narrow. The protoconch is glassy, rounded and two-whorled. The shell contains eight or nine strongly ribbed whorls. The spiral sculpture, sometimes obsolete near the suture, consists of extremely fine, wavy, close-set, incised lines. The transverse sculpture consists of (on the penultimate whorl 9 to 11) nearly straight stout ribs extending from the suture over the periphery and lost on the base. The fasciole is not well marked;. The suture is distinct, somewhat appressed, undulated by passing over the ribs. The surface of the shell is more or less lustrous. Its color is white, spi ...

In the scientific name of organisms, basionym or basyonym means the original name on which a new name is based; the author citation of the new name should include the authors of the basionym in parentheses. The term "basionym" is used in both botany and zoology. In zoology, alternate terms such as original combination or protonym are sometimes used instead. Bacteriology uses a similar term, basonym, spelled without an ''i''. Although "basionym" and "protonym" are often used interchangeably, they have slightly different technical definitions. A basionym is the ''correct'' spelling of the original name (according to the applicable nomenclature rules), while a protonym is the ''original'' spelling of the original name. These are typically the same, but in rare cases may differ. Use in botany The term "basionym" is used in botany only for the circumstances where a previous name exists with a useful description, and the '' International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants' ...
