Clinura Generosa
''Clinura'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), family Raphitomidae. This genus was only known from fossils from the Cenozoic era until 1997 when Sysoev found a specimen of ''Clinura vitrea'' off the Taninbar Islands, Indonesia. Species Species within the genus ''Clinura'' include: * † ''Clinura calliope'' Brocchi, G.B., 1814 * † ''Clinura circumfossa'' (Koenen, 1872) * † ''Clinura controversa'' Jan * † ''Clinura generosa'' (Marwick, 1931) * † ''Clinura sabatorium'' Bellardi, 1875 * † ''Clinura sopronensis'' Hoernes & Auinger, 1879 * † ''Clinura subtrochlearis'' Friedberg, 1912 * † ''Clinura trochlearis'' Hoernes, 1856 * ''Clinura vitrea'' Sysoev, 1997 ;Species brought into synonymy: * † ''Clinura elegantissima'' (Foresti, 1868): synonym of ''Teretia elegantissima'' (Forresti, 1868) * ''Clinura hosoi'' (Okutani, 1964): synonym of ''Crassispira hosoi'' (Okutani, 1964) * ''Clinura monochorda'' Dall, 1908: synonym of '' ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. 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 of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...
