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 ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...

Homalopsidae
The Homalopsidae are a family of snakes which contains about 28 genus, genera and more than 50 species. They are commonly known as Indo-Australian water snakes, mudsnakes, or bockadams. They are also known as ''ular air'' (lit. "water snake") in Indonesian. They are typically stout-bodied water snakes, and all are mildly venomous. Two monotypic genera are notable for their unusual morphology: ''Erpeton'' possesses a pair of short, fleshy appendages protruding from the front of the snout, and ''Bitia'' has uniquely enlarged snake skull, palatine teeth. ''Cerberus (snake), Cerberus'' species have been noted to use sidewinding to cross slick Mudflat, mud flats during low tide. ''Fordonia'' and ''Gerarda (snake), Gerarda'' are the only snakes known to tear their prey apart before eating it, pulling soft-shelled crabs through their coils to rip them apart prior to ingestion. Genera * ''Bitia'' Gray, 1842 * ''Brachyorrhos'' Kuhl, 1826 * ''Calamophis'' Meyer, 1874 * ''Cantoria (snake ...

John Edward Gray
John Edward Gray, FRS (12 February 1800 – 7 March 1875) was a British zoologist. He was the elder brother of zoologist George Robert Gray and son of the pharmacologist and botanist Samuel Frederick Gray (1766–1828). The same is used for a zoological name. Gray was keeper of zoology at the British Museum in London from 1840 until Christmas 1874, before the natural history holdings were split off to the Natural History Museum. He published several catalogues of the museum collections that included comprehensive discussions of animal groups and descriptions of new species. He improved the zoological collections to make them amongst the best in the world. Biography Gray was born in Walsall, but his family soon moved to London, where Gray studied medicine. He assisted his father in writing ''The Natural Arrangement of British Plants'' (1821). After being blackballed by the Linnean Society of London, Gray shifted his interest from botany to zoology. He began his zoologica ...

Myrrophis Chinensis
The Chinese water snake, Chinese smooth water snake, Chinese mud snake or Chinese rice paddy snake (''Enhydris chinensis'' or ''Myrrophis chinensis'') is a species of mildly venomous, rear-fanged snake, endemic to Asia. Geographic range ''Enhydris chinensis'' is found in China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Habitat As the common name suggests, the Chinese water snake is a highly aquatic species, adapting well to human-altered environments such as fish pools and rice paddies. Conservation status ''Enhydris chinensis'' is considered common, although it has declined in Taiwan and is protected there. Description ''Enhydris chinensis'' is a relatively small snake reaching total length (including tail) of up to . Diet The Chinese water snake typically feeds on fish and amphibians. Commercial use ''Enhydris chinensis'' are harvested for food and skins, but this is not considered to be threatening its populations. Medicinal use ''Enhydris chinensis'' is used in folk medicine.
