Cryptazeca is a genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod molluscs in the family Azecidae.
The distribution of Cryptazeca species includes southwestern France, northeastern Spain (from the western Pyrenées to the Cantabrian mountains). [2]
Species within the genus Crypazeca include:
Allognathus is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Helicidae, the true snails. The genus is endemic to the Balearic Islands being present in all major islands and in several small islets. The genus colonized the archipelago from the south-eastern Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Miocene, throughout a land-bridge connection. The different species belonging to Allognathus live in crevice rocks or under stones.
Cryptazeca elongata is a species of gastropod in the family Azecidae. It was first discovered in 1990 by BJ Gomez Moliner within a cave 2 kilometers northwest of the Covalanas Cave of Cantabria. The species was listed as critically endangered in 2015.
Cryptazeca monodonta is a species of small, air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Azecidae.
Gonaxis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate [[gastr opod]] mollusks in the family Streptaxidae.
Platyla is a genus of very small land snails with an operculum, terrestrial gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Aciculidae.
Ferussaciidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Achatinoidea.
Cochlicopidae is a taxonomic family of small, air-breathing, land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Pupilloidea.
Léopold de Folin was an author, oceanographer, malacologist and early founder (1871) of the collections which were to become the Musée de la mer in Biarritz, France
Vitrina is genus of small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Vitrinidae, the glass snails.
Oceanida is a genus of very small parasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Meioceras is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Caecidae.
Artemonopsis is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Streptaxidae.
Miralda is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Pyramidellidae, the pyrams, and their allies.
Plagiodontes is a recent genus of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Odontostomidae.
Discopsis is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Tornidae.
Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws.
Geomitridae is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Helicoidea.
Xeroleuca is a genus of air-breathing land snails, a pulmonate gastropod in the subfamily Helicellinae of the family Geomitridae, the typical snails.
Azecidae is a family of small and very small air-breathing land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Azecoidea.
