Taxonomy (biology)
In biology, taxonomy () is the scientific study of naming, defining ( circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. Organisms are grouped into taxa (singular: taxon) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a more inclusive group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum (''division'' is sometimes used in botany in place of ''phylum''), class, order, family, genus, and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a ranked system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms. With advances in the theory, data and analytical technology of biological systematics, the Linnaean system has transformed into a system of modern biological classification intended to reflect the ...

Antarctoneptunea
''Antarctoneptunea'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Austrosiphonidae, the true whelks. Distribution ''Antarctoneptunea'' marine snails occur in deep water surrounding New Zealand and in Southern Ocean encircling Antarctica, particularly in the Ross Sea. Dell R.K., Antarctic Mollusca with special reference to the fauna of the Ross Sea, The Royal Society of New Zealand Bulletin 27. Evolution Molecular phylogenetic trees based on mitochondrial genomic and nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence data indicate that ''Antarctoneptunea'' is closely related to the Northern Hemisphere genus ''Kelletia'', and '' Penion'' siphon whelks found in waters surrounding New Zealand and Australia. It has been suggested that some Antarctic fossil species of ''Penion'' are misclassified ''Antarctoneptunea''. Species Species within the genus ''Antarctoneptunea'' include: * ''Antarctoneptunea aurora'' (Hedley, 1916) * ''Antarctoneptunea benthicola'' (Dell, 1956) ;S ...
