Haminoeidae
Haminoeidae, commonly known as the haminoeid bubble snail family, is a taxonomic family of sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Haminoeoidea. The name of this family has long been controversial, and used to be Atyidae or Atydidae. Another, but incorrect, spelling was Haminaeidae (See (ICZN) 2000. Opinion 1942). A number of genera have been proposed for this family, but the species are hard to identify (or sometimes impossible to identify) by looking only at the external characteristics. Until the internal anatomy of 'wet' specimens has been fully described, the status of many of the genera listed here is uncertain. Distribution These bubble snails occur in all warm or temperate seas. Habitat These are sand dwellers or they live on muddy bottoms, in bays, estuaries, and close to the shore in tidepools. Description of the live animal These are colorful snails, that can partially take the color of the sea floor. Their large cephalic shield is ro ...

Bullacta
''Bullacta exarata'', common name the Korean mud snail, is a species of a sea snail or bubble snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Haminoeidae, the bubble snails. ''Bullacta exarata'' is a commercially important mollusc which is used as a food item in eastern China. Taxonomy ''Bullacta exarata'' is the only species in the genus ''Bullacta''. cf. ''Bullacta'' is the type genus of the family Bullactidae Thiele, 1926, as shown in the taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005). Based on phylogenetic genetic analysis by Malaquias (2010), ''Bullacta exarata'' should be placed in the family Haminoeidae. Distribution ''Bullacta exarata'' is endemic to coastlines of the South and East China Seas from Hainan to the Bohai Sea in north-eastern China, the western coast and south coast of Korea and Japan.Ye S.-F. & Lu J.-J.

Haminoeoidea
Haminoeoidea is a taxonomic superfamily of small sea snails or bubble shells, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the clade Cephalaspidea, the headshield slugs and bubble snails. These cephalaspideans do have distinct anatomical and morphological characteristics, but unfortunately many species were described only from empty shells. For proper clarification of the taxonomy, those species still need the research necessary to provide a good description of the external and internal anatomy of the living animal. Description of live animal The soft parts of the animals can retract completely or partially into their shells, and yet this offers them scant protection, because the aperture is rather wide and there is no operculum. Furthermore, the shell is very fragile and can easily be crushed by a predator. The cephalic shield of most species in this superfamily has two hind lobes that lie back on the front of the shell. The black eyes are usually buried just beneath the surf ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Haminoea Zelandiae
''Papawera zelandiae'', common name the white bubble shell, is a species of medium-sized sea snail or bubble snail, a marine (ocean), marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusc in the family (biology), family Haminoeidae, the bubble snails. Systematics The white bubble shell was in the past classified in the genus ''Haminoea''. However, Oskars et al. (2019) placed this species and ''Haminoea maugeansis'' in the new genus ''Papawera'' after DNA-based cladistic analysis found both species closely related to ''Smaragdinella''.Oskars, T. R. and M. A.

Haminoea
''Haminoea'' is a genus of medium-sized sea snails or bubble snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod molluscs in the family Haminoeidae, the haminoea bubble snails, part of the clade Cephalaspidea, the headshield slugs and bubble snails.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2012). Haminoea. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138054 on 2012-06-06 Systematics Three different spellings (''Haminoea, Haminea, Haminaea'') were used for this genus over two hundred years. The ICZN finally made a decision that the correct spelling is ''Haminoea''. Oskars et al. (2019) restricted ''Haminoea'' to species from the Atlantic and eastern Pacific, and resurrected ''Haloa'' and '' Lamprohaminoea'' for Indo-Pacific species.Oskars, T. R. and M. A. E. Malaquias. 2019.

Atys (gastropod)
''Atys'' is a genus of very small to medium-sized sea snails, marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks in the family Haminoeidae. All the species within the genus Atys are herbivores. They occur in tropical and warm oceans and seas. They are cephalaspideans, part of the suborder of headshield slugs and bubble snails. The genus was named after Atys, a king of Alba Longa, who was mentioned in ancient Greek texts. Description These snails have a shell which is very lightweight and translucent, with a sunken spire. The shape of the shell in some species resembles a bubble, and because of this, species in this genus are commonly known as Atys bubble shells or Atys bubble snails. (Several other shelled families within the Cephalaspidea are even more commonly known as "bubble shells" or "bubble snails", for example, the Bullidae.) The anatomy of the soft parts of most species within this genus has not been studied, but it seems that some of the species in this genus can not reliably be ...

Aperture (mollusc)
The aperture is an opening in certain kinds of mollusc shells: it is the main opening of the shell, where the head-foot part of the body of the animal emerges for locomotion, feeding, etc. The term ''aperture'' is used for the main opening in gastropod shells, scaphopod shells, and also for ''Nautilus'' and ammonite shells. The word is not used to describe bivalve shells, where a natural opening between the two shell valves in the closed position is usually called a ''gape''. Scaphopod shells are tubular, and thus they have two openings: a main anterior aperture and a smaller posterior aperture. As well as the aperture, some gastropod shells have additional openings in their shells for respiration; this is the case in some Fissurellidae (keyhole limpets) where the central smaller opening at the apex of the shell is called an orifice, and in the Haliotidae (abalones) where the row of respiratory openings in the shell are also called orifices. In gastropods In some prosobranch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bakawan (gastropod)
Bakawan is a village in the state of Madhya Pradesh located on the banks of the river Narmada in India. The village falls under the Nimar region (pronounced Nimadh/Nimad/Nimarh) in Malwa. The region predominantly speaks the local dialect "Nimadi" and Hindi. Nearest airport is Indore and nearest railway station is Khandwa. Introduction A steep climb from the banks of the river Narmada leads to the village with paved streets.

Henry Augustus Pilsbry
Henry Augustus Pilsbry (7 December 1862 – 26 October 1957) was an American biologist, malacologist and carcinologist, among other areas of study. He was a dominant presence in many fields of invertebrate taxonomy for the better part of a century. For much of his career, his authority with respect to the classification of certain substantial groups of organisms was unchallenged: barnacles, chitons, North American terrestrial molluscs, terrestrial mollusks, and others. Biography Pilsbry (frequently misspelled ''Pilsbury'') spent his childhood and youth in Iowa. He was called "Harry" Pilsbry then, and developed an early fascination with the limited variety of mollusks he was able to find. He attended the University of Iowa, and received the Bachelor of Science degree there in 1882, but did not immediately find employment in his field of interest. Instead, Henry Pilsbry worked for publishing firms and newspapers for the next several years, but devoted most of his spare time to the ...
