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 ...

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=994707 on 2021-02-01 Anatomy The family is characterized by the presence of a free right ommatophoral retractor (passing outside the peni-oviducal angle) and a double stimulatory apparatus. A free right ommatophoral retractor has been linked to adaptation to xeric habitats Taxonomy The family Geomitridae is subdivided in the following subfamilies (according to Razkin ''et al.'', 2015) *Subfamily Geomitrinae ** tribe Cochlicellini Schileyko, 1972 ** tribe Geomitrini C. Boettger, 1909 - synonym: Ochthephilinae Zilch, 1960 (n.a.) ** tribe Ponentinini Razkin ''et al.'', 2015 *Subfamily ...

Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: https://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1504083 on 2022-07-21 It is endemic to Madeira, where it is known only from the Ilhas Desertas The Desertas Islands ( pt, Ilhas Desertas, , "Deserted Islands") are a small archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, part of the larger Portuguese Madeira Archipelago. The archipelago is located off the coast of Morocco. Deserta Grande Island is loc .... This snail lives in grass tussocks among the rock litter. It has been threatened by habitat degradation caused by a population of goats living on the island. Most of the goats have been removed as part of efforts to preserve the habitat for this snail and other local species, so it is not considered to be as vulnerable at this time.

Wenzia Fraasi
''Swenzia'' is an extinct genus of coelacanthid fish from the late Jurassic of France.Clement, G. 2005. A new coelacanth (Actinistia, Sarcopterygii) from the Jurassic of France, and the question of the closest relative fossil to Latimeria. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology vol. 25:p. 481–491. It contains a single species, ''S. latimerae'', which was originally described as ''Wenzia latimerae''. Because the generic name ''Wenzia'' was already preoccupied by a snail, the generic name was amended to ''Swenzia.''Clément, G. 2006. Swenzia, n. nov., a replacement name for the preoccupied coelacanth genus Wenzia Clément. Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology vol. 26:p. 461.
