Roseaplagis Caelatus
''Roseaplagis caelatus'' is a species of small sea snail in the family Trochidae, the top shells. Description It is smaller than '' Cantharidus sanguineus'' (height: 5.5 mm, diameter 4.5 mm) but it is more deeply ribbed and its grooves are wider. The imperforate shell is more deeply ribbed, and the ribs narrower. They number 5 to 7 on the penultimate whorl, 15 to 16 on the body whorl. Sometimes they are obsoletely granose through being crossed by growth lines. The columella shows a slight swelling in the middle. Distribution This marine species is endemic to New Zealand and occurs off the Foveaux Straits; Port Pegasus, Stewart Island; Snares and Bounty Islands Subspecies The former subspecies have been named: * ''Micrelenchus caelatus archibenthicola'' Dell, 1956: synonym of ''Cantharidus caelatus mortenseni'' Powell, 1933; synonym of '' Roseaplagis mortenseni'' (Odhner, 1924) * ''Micrelenchus caelatus bakeri'' Fleming, 1948: synonym of ''Roseaplagis artizona'' A.

Roseaplagis Mortenseni
''Roseaplagis mortenseni'' is a species of sea snail in the family Trochidae, the top snails. The shell grows to a length of 7 mm. This marine species occurs off New Zealand, the Antipodes Islands and the Bounty Islands The Bounty Islands (; "Island of angry wind") are a small group of uninhabited granite islets and numerous rocks, with a combined area of circa in the South Pacific Ocean. Territorially part of New Zealand, they lie about east-south-east o .... References * Odhner, N.H. (1924) Papers from Dr. Th. Mortensen's Pacific Expedition 1914–1916. XIX. New Zealand Mollusca.

Roseaplagis Rufozona
''Roseaplagis rufozona'' is a species of sea snail in the family Trochidae, the top snails. Description The length of the shell varies between 4 mm and 8 mm. The small, rather thin, imperforate shell has a globosely conoidal shape. Its sculpture consists of distant rounded spiral cinguli, 5 on the penultimate, 13 on the body whorl with smooth interstices. Its colour is white or cinereous. The spiral riblets are rufous or pinkish brown. The spire is conoidal with an acute apex. The sides are slightly convex. The small protoconch is conic with about 2 whorls. These are convex and spirally lirate, mostly eroded. The spire contains about 5 whorls, the body whorl rather large, and rounded at the periphery The base of the shell is convex. The suture is impressed. The subquadrangular aperture is iridescent and lirate within. The outer lip slightly indented, sharp, articulated with pinkish-brown, with an inner opaque white band. The white columella is vertical, with a slight t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Sea Snail
Sea snails are slow-moving marine (ocean), marine gastropod Mollusca, molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the Taxonomic classification, taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible Gastropod shell, shell. Definition Determining whether some gastropods should be called sea snails is not always easy. Some species that live in brackish water (such as certain Neritidae, neritids) can be listed as either freshwater snails or marine snails, and some species that live at or just above the high tide level (for example, species in the genus ''Truncatella (gastropod), Truncatella'') are sometimes considered to be sea snails and sometimes listed as land snails. Anatomy Sea snails are a very large and diverse group of animals. Most snails that live in salt water respire using a gill or gills; a few species, though, have a lung, are intertidal, and are active only at low tide w ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...

Trochidae
The Trochidae, common name top-snails or top-shells, are a family of various sized sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subclass Vetigastropoda. This family is commonly known as the top-snails because in many species the shell resembles a toy spinning top. Taxonomy The family Trochidae consists of the following subfamilies: * Alcyninae Williams, Donald, Spencer & Nakano, 2010 * Cantharidinae Gray, 1857 * Carinotrochinae S.-Q. Zhang, J. Zhang & S.-P. Zhang, 2020 * Chrysostomatinae Williams, Donald, Spencer & Nakano, 2010 * Fossarininae Bandel, 2009 * Halistylinae Keen, 1958 * Kaiparathininae B. A. Marshall, 1993 * Monodontinae Gray, 1857 * Stomatellinae Gray, 1840 * Trochinae Rafinesque, 1815 *Umboniinae H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 (1840) Additionally, the following genera have not yet been placed in any subfamily: * '' Callumbonella'' Thiele, 1924 * †'' Coeloconulus'' Nützel, 2012 * '' Enida'' A.
