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 ...

Tenaturris Verdensis
''Tenaturris verdensis'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. Description The length of the shell varies between 6.5 mm and 16 mm. (Original description) The small shell has a short- fusiform shape. It is whitish or feebly dotted with brown, with three brown whorls in the protoconch and four subsequent whorls. The apex of the protoconch is very small, smooth, the other two microscopically rugose. The suture is appressed behind a faint anal fasciole. The whorls are moderately rounded. The spiral sculpture is uniform, consisting of fine attenuated close-set spiral threads covering the whole surface and crossed by minutely sharp incremental lines giving a peculiarly rough effect. The other axial sculpture consists of (on the body whorl about 12) rather feeble rounded ribs obsolete anteriorly with about equal interspaces. The aperture is elongate, narrow with no differentiated siphonal canal. The outer lip is moderately varicos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
