Margarya Nana
''Margarya'' is a genus of large operculum (gastropod), operculate freshwater snails, Aquatic animal, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Viviparidae.Bouchet, P. (2014). Margarya G. Nevill, 1877. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=758767 on 2014-12-10 Taxonomy The genus ''Margarya'' was described by Nevill (1877) based on shells of the type species collected by A.R. Margary from Lake Erhai, the type locality of ''Margarya melanioides''. Based on shell and radular morphology, Tchang & Tsi (1949) revised this genus for the first time and recognized seven distinct species. He created two subgenera of ''Margarya'' , viz ''Tchangmargarya'' and ''Mabillemargarya''. The first molecular phylogeny showed that the genus ''Margarya'' is polyphyletic and divided into three distinct clades. Combining study of comparative morphology and molecular phylogeny, Zhang ''et al''. revised the systematics of ''Margarya'' ...

Animalia
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals consume organic material, breathe oxygen, are able to move, can reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of cells, the blastula, during embryonic development. Over 1.5 million living animal species have been described—of which around 1 million are insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology. Most living animal species are in Bilateria, a clade whose members have a bilaterally symmetric body plan. The Bilateria include the protostomes, containing animals such as nematodes, arthropods, flatworms, annelids and molluscs, and the deuterostomes, containing the echinode ...
