''Hydroginella'' is a genus of marginellid minute sea snails, marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Austroginellinae of the family (biology), family Marginellidae, the margin snails. ''Hydroginella caledonica'' (Jousseaume, 1876) can parasitize sleeping fishes of the families Scaridae, Serranidae and Pomacentridae at coral reefs in New Caledonia by night. This snail is able to inserts its proboscis in the fish flesh and probably pumps some body fluids. Species Species within the genus ''Hydroginella'' include: * ''Hydroginella agulhasensis'' (Thiele, 1925) * ''Hydroginella angustata'' Boyer, Wakefield & McCleery, 2003 * ''Hydroginella bullata'' Boyer, Wakefield & McCleery, 2003 * ''Hydroginella caledonica'' (Jousseaume, 1877) * ''Hydroginella chiapponii'' T. Cossignani & Lorenz, 2021 * ''Hydroginella columnaria'' (Hedley & May, 1908) * ''Hydroginella cypraeaformis'' Boyer, 2015 * ''Hydroginella dedicata'' Boyer, 2018 * ''Hydroginella delessertiana'' (RÃ ...

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 ...
