Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simnia Aperta
''Simnia'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Ovulidae. Taxonomy Dolin & Ledon (2002) considered that the lectotype of ''Simnia nicaeensis'' Risso, 1826, type species of ''Simnia'', is a juvenile specimen of ''Simnia spelta'' (Linnaeus, 1758) type species of '' Neosimnia'' Fischer, 1884. This makes ''Simnia'' an objective synonym of ''Neosimnia''. Accordingly, all the species treated in Lorenz & Fehse (2009) under ''Neosimnia'' should thereby be accepted under ''Simnia''. Likewise, all the species treated by Lorenz & Fehse (2009) under ''Simnia'' should thereby be accepted under '' Xandarovula'' Cate, 1973. The assumptions of Dolin (Dolin & Ledon, 2002) are based on interpretations but not on the examination of the type material. Fehse (2016) has confirmed the vaility of the genus Neosimnia because the lectotype of ''Simnia nicaeensis'' Risso, 1826, type species of ''Simnia'', is never a juvenile specimen of ''Simnia spelta'' (Linnaeus, 1758) type s ...

''Simnia spelta'' is a species of sea snail, a marine Gastropoda, gastropod Mollusca, mollusc in the Family (biology), family Ovulidae, the ovulids, which are cowrie allies sometimes called "false cowries". It was Species description, first described in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. Description ''Simnia spelta'' grows to a length of about . The shell is roughly egg or cigar-shaped with a flattened base. It is strong, thick, smooth and glossy, with inrolled edges at the sides of the long aperture on the underside. The colouring varies according to the species of gorgonian on which it is living. The background colour of the shell is white, yellow, pink or orange, often with white spots or dark spots, marbling or streaks, providing camouflage. As is commonly the case in ''Simnia'' species, the colour of all the visible soft parts normally matches the colour of the gorgonian on which the snail is grazing, as the pigment from the gorgonian is retained in the Mantle (m ...
