Ophiodermella Inermis
''Ophiodermella inermis'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae. Description The shell grows to a length of 40 mm, its width 7 mm. The shell is pinkish ash-colored under a light olivaceous epidermis. The lines of growth are sometimes rib-like, oblique and angulated at the periphery and lighter-colored, so that the interspaces appear like angulated lines of chestnut or reddish narrow stripes. The whole surface is covered by close revolving incised lines. The small shell is slender and very acute. Its color is of a livid purple. The shell is covered with an olivaceous periostracum, with about eleven whorls. The protoconch is more or less eroded, but apparently smooth, acute, and including about two and a half whorls. The subsequent whorls are rather flat, compressed and appressed at and in front of the suture, with a rounded base and inconspicuous anal fasciole. The sculpture consists chiefly of flattish spiral threads, one at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ophiodermella Grippi
''Ophiodermella grippi'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Borsoniidae. Description The size of an adult shell varies between 18 mm and 30 mm (Original description) The slender shell slender contains about eight (slightly decollate) whorls. Its color is livid olivaceous with a pale peripheral band, lighter near the aperture. The suture is appressed, on the upper whorls rudely nodulous. The spiral sculpture in front of the fasciole on the spire consists of five or six strong cords with narrower interspaces, overriding the ribs. The cords cover the body whorl The body whorl is part of the morphology of the shell in those gastropod mollusks that possess a coiled shell. The term is also sometimes used in a similar way to describe the shell of a cephalopod mollusk. In gastropods In gastropods, the b ....

They are similarly sculptured: axial sculpture consists of numerous low slender flexuous riblets with wider interspaces, extending from the suture to the periphery and become obsolete on the base of the shell.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below 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 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. phylogenetic analysis should c ...

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') 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". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opi ...

Mollusk
Mollusca is the second-largest phylum of invertebrate animals after the Arthropoda, the members of which are known as molluscs or mollusks (). Around 85,000 extant species of molluscs are recognized. The number of fossil species is estimated between 60,000 and 100,000 additional species. The proportion of undescribed species is very high. Many taxa remain poorly studied. Molluscs are the largest marine phylum, comprising about 23% of all the named marine organisms. Numerous molluscs also live in freshwater and terrestrial habitats. They are highly diverse, not just in size and anatomical structure, but also in behaviour and habitat. The phylum is typically divided into 7 or 8 taxonomic classes, of which two are entirely extinct. Cephalopod molluscs, such as squid, cuttlefish, and octopuses, are among the most neurologically advanced of all invertebrates—and either the giant squid or the colossal squid is the largest known invertebrate species.
