Vestia (gastropod)
''Vestia'' is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Clausiliidae, the door snails, all of which have a clausilium. Paul Hesse named ''Vestia'' as a ''nomen novum'' for ''Uncinaria'' , which was preoccupied by its senior homonym ''Uncinaria'' , a genus of nematode.

Paul Hesse
Paul Hesse (3 February 1857 – 26 February 1938) was a German zoologist, who specialised in the study of Mollusca. In 1926, the Academy of Natural Sciences of Pennsylvania purchased a collection of about 50,000 specimens from Hesse, mainly focusing on non-marine molluscs from Europe. Works Hesse's works included: *Hesse, P., 1898: Die Perlfischerei im Roten Meere. ''Zoologische Garten'', 39: 382-385 *Hesse, P., 1911: Nekrolog. Carl Agardh Westerlund Carl Agardh Westerlund (12 January 1831 – 28 February 1908 in Ronneby) was a Swedish malacologist. Biography Westerlund was born at Berga in Kalmar County, Sweden.

Vestia Roschitzi
''Vestia roschitzi'' is a species of air-breathing land snail within the family Clausiliidae, Distribution This species is endemic to the Balkan Region with a distribution covering eastern Bulgaria, southern Serbia, northern Albania, Montenegro, and eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its habitat is within mountains and foothills, living in wet deciduous forests, bushes, and rocks amongst vegetation at elevations of 500 to 2500 meters high. Conservation The current subpopulations on ''Vestia roschitzi'' are assumed to be stable, and no major threats are known to effect the species, although because of its morphological forms having a localized distribution range between populations it can be easily effected by disturbances within its environment. It has been classified as 'Least concern' by the IUCN Red List, as its large distribution covers several protected area Protected areas or conservation areas are locations which receive protection because of their recognized natur ...

Nematode
The nematodes ( or grc-gre, Νηματώδη; la, Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes), with plant- parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a broad range of environments. Less formally, they are categorized as Helminths, but are taxonomically classified along with arthropods, tardigrades and other moulting animals in the clade Ecdysozoa, and unlike flatworms, have tubular digestive systems with openings at both ends. Like tardigrades, they have a reduced number of Hox genes, but their sister phylum Nematomorpha has kept the ancestral protostome Hox genotype, which shows that the reduction has occurred within the nematode phylum. Nematode species can be difficult to distinguish from one another. Consequently, estimates of the number of nematode species described to date vary by author and may change rapidly over time.

Senior Homonym
In biology, a homonym is a name for a taxon that is identical in spelling to another such name, that belongs to a different taxon. The rule in the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature is that the first such name to be published is the senior homonym and is to be used (it is "valid"); any others are junior homonyms and must be replaced with new names. It is, however, possible that if a senior homonym is archaic, and not in "prevailing usage," it may be declared a '' nomen oblitum'' and rendered unavailable, while the junior homonym is preserved as a '' nomen protectum''. :For example: :*Cuvier proposed the genus ''Echidna'' in 1797 for the spiny anteater. :*However, Forster had already published the name ''Echidna'' in 1777 for a genus of moray eels. :*Forster's use thus has priority, with Cuvier's being a junior homonym. :* Illiger published the replacement name ''Tachyglossus'' in 1811. Similarly, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Nomen Novum
In biological nomenclature, a ''nomen novum'' (Latin for "new name"), new replacement name (or replacement name, new substitute name, substitute name) is a scientific name that is created specifically to replace another scientific name, but only when this other name cannot be used for technical, nomenclatural reasons (for example because it is a homonym: it is spelled the same as an existing, older name). It does not apply when a name is changed for taxonomic reasons (representing a change in scientific insight). It is frequently abbreviated, ''e.g.'' ''nomen nov.'', ''nom. nov.''. Zoology In zoology establishing a new replacement name is a nomenclatural act and it must be expressly proposed to substitute a previously established and available name. Often, the older name cannot be used because another animal was described earlier with exactly the same name. For example, Lindholm discovered in 1913 that a generic name ''Jelskia'' established by Bourguignat in 1877 for a European ...
