Ovachlamys Fulgens
''Ovachlamys fulgens'' is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Helicarionidae. ''Ovachlamys fulgens'' was originally discovered and described as ''Macrochlamys fulgens'' by the British malacologist Gerard Pierre Laurent Kalshoven Gude in 1900. Distribution The type locality for this species is Ryukyu Islands (Loo-Choo Islands). The type specimens are stored in the Florida Museum of Natural History. The snail is thought to be originally from the Ryukyu Islands. ''Ovachlamys fulgens'' has spread to various countries, most probably accidentally introduced with the orchid trade. Non-indigenous distribution of ''Ovachlamys fulgens'' include: Americas: * Costa Rica Barrientos Z. (24 September 1999)"''Ovachlamys fulgens'' (Gude, 1900)".

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 ...

Land Snail
A land snail is any of the numerous species of snail that live on land, as opposed to the sea snails and freshwater snails. ''Land snail'' is the common name for terrestrial gastropod mollusks that have shells (those without shells are known as slugs). However, it is not always easy to say which species are terrestrial, because some are more or less amphibious between land and fresh water, and others are relatively amphibious between land and salt water. Land snails are a polyphyletic group comprising at least ten independent evolutionary transitions to terrestrial life (the last common ancestor of all gastropods was marine). The majority of land snails are pulmonates that have a lung and breathe air. Most of the non-pulmonate land snails belong to lineages in the Caenogastropoda, and tend to have a gill and an operculum. The largest clade of land snails is the Cyclophoroidea, with more than 7,000 species. Many of these operculate land snails live in habitats or microhabitats ...

Helicarionidae
Helicarionidae is a family of air-breathing land snails or semi-slugs, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicarionoidea. Distribution The distribution of Helicarionidae includes the eastern Palearctic, Malagasy, India, south-eastern Asia, Hawaii, and Australia. Anatomy Species of snails within this family make and use love darts made of chitin. In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 21 and 30 (according to the values in this table). Taxonomy The family Helicarionidae is nested within the limacoid clade, as shown in the following cladogram :Hausdorf B. (2000). "Biogeography of the Limacoidea sensu lato (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora): Vicariance Events and Long-Distance Dispersal". ''Journal of Biogeography'' 27(2): 379-390. JSTOR Genera The following genera are recognised in the family Helicarionidae: ;Subfamily Helicarioninae *'' Amenixesta'' *'' Antiquarion'' *'' Attenborougharion'' *'' Bathia'' *'' Brevisentis'' ...
