Tornatellides Oncospira
''Tornatellides'' is a genus of minute, air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks, or micromolluscs in the family Achatinellidae. Distribution This genus is endemic to the islands of the South Pacific. Predators Individuals of the Hawaiian species are preyed upon by caterpillars of the moth ''Hyposmocoma molluscivora''. Species Species within the genus ''Tornatellides'' include: * '' Tornatellides attenuatus'' * ''Tornatellides bellus'' * '' Tornatellides boeningi'' (Schmacker and Boettger, 1891) * '' Tornatellides brunneus'' * ''Tornatellides bryani'' * ''Tornatellides comes'' * ''Tornatellides compactus'' * '' Tornatellides confusus'' * '' Tornatellides cyphostyla'' * ''Tornatellides diptyx'' * ''Tornatellides drepanophorus'' * ''Tornatellides euryomphala'' * ''Tornatellides forbesi'' * ''Tornatellides frit'' * ''Tornatellides idae'' * ''Tornatellides inornatus'' * ''Tornatellides insignis'' * ''Tornatellides irregularis'' * ...

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 ...
