Cochlespiridae
Cochlespiridae is a Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic family (biology), family of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea. This family is not well differentiated morphologically, and there is poor congruence between the molecular and shell characters. Its limits are uncertain. Even the contents of most of the genera are in need of revision. The family is composed of some genera that used to belong to the subfamily Cochlespirinae, in the family Turridae. This family has no subfamilies. General characteristics This family consists of moderately sized shells, usually between 20 and 30 mm, but in ''Nihonia maxima'' the length of shell can reach 128 mm. The shell of ''Aforia magnifica'' even reaches 150 mm. The shell is turriculated and fusiform with a long, sharp Spire (mollusc), spire. Axial Sculpture (mollusc), sculpture is absent or feebly developed. The Aperture (mollusc), aperture is ovate. The Columella (gastropod), columellar mar ...

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 ...

Aforia Kincaidi
''Aforia kincaidi'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cochlespiridae. Description The height of the shell attains 29 mm, its diameter 13 mm. (Original description) The waxen white shell is of moderate size and has a fusiform shape. The spire is acute. The siphonal canal is elongated.
