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 ...

Phrontis Luteostoma
In Greek mythology, Phrontis (/fron-tis/; Ancient Greek: Φροντις means "thought, care, attention") may refer to the following personages: ''Male'' * Phrontis, son of Phrixus and Chalciope, daughter of King Aeetes. *Phrontis, son of Onetor and the steersman in Menelaus' vessel. Phrontis had a very high repute in his craft but he came to his end when he was already rounding Sunium in Attica for the god Apollo shot him dead. Menelaus stopped at the cape and then build Phrontis a tomb and pay him the due rites of burial.

Nassarius Nodicostatus
''Nassarius'', common name nassa mud snails (USA) or dog whelks (UK), is a genus of minute to medium-sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Nassariidae.Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S. (2010). Nassarius Duméril, 1806. In: Bouchet, P.; Gofas, S.; Rosenberg, G. (2010) World Marine Mollusca database. Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=138235 on 2010-11-30 They are scavengers. Etymology The name is derived from the Latin word "nassa", meaning a wickerbasket with a narrow neck, for catching fish. ''Nassarius'' would then mean "someone who uses such a wickerbasket for catching fish". Ecology Distribution and habitat Species within this genus are found worldwide. These snails usually live on mud flats or sand flats, intertidally or subtidally. Life habits Most ''Nassarius'' species are very active scavengers, feeding on crabs and carrion as dead fish, etc. They often burrow into marine substrates and ...
