Marginella (Hiwia) Amplificata
''Marginella'' is a very large genus of small tropical and temperate sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the subfamily Marginellinae of the family Marginellidae, the margin snails. It is the type genus of the family. The shells of species in this genus are rounded, smooth and glossy, with a large aperture that appears to be toothed because it shows the edge of the columellar folds. In many species the shells are colorful. The glossy surface of the shell results from the fact that the mantle covers most of the shell when the animal is active. As is typical in the Neogastropoda, the animal has a long siphon. When the animal is active, the foot extends much further out than the edge of the shell. As is also typical for the Neogastropoda, species in this genus are carnivorous and predatory. Etymology ''Marginella'' means "little margin". Shell description The shells of the species in this genus have spires which range from moderately elevated to flattened. The surface of ...

Marginellidae
Marginellidae, or the margin shells, are a taxonomic family of small, often colorful, sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the clade Neogastropoda. Taxonomy The higher classification of the family Marginellidae has long been in a state of confusion. Many popular works still treat all members of this family under the single genus ''Marginella'', basing them primarily on superficial similarities of the shell. The confusion over the classification stems from the fact that the earlier classifications were based rather crudely on shell characters. Although many good differential shell characters do exist within this group, those characters were generally misinterpreted or not recognized as significant. Such information as did exist on the radulae and the external anatomy of the living animals was widely scattered in the scientific literature, and internal anatomical descriptions were not available until fairly recently. In 2019 a new molecular phylogeny of marginelliform gas ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
