Gibberulus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. [1]
Species within the genus Gibberulus include:
Strombidae, commonly known as the true conchs, is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to very large sea snails in the superfamily Stromboidea, and the Epifamily Neostromboidae. The term true conchs, being a common name, does not have an exact meaning. It may generally refer to any of the Strombidae but sometimes is used more specifically to include only Strombus and Lambis. The family currently includes 26 extant, and 10 extinct genera.
Strombus is a genus of medium to large sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Strombidae, which comprises the true conchs and their immediate relatives. The genus Strombus was named by Swedish Naturalist Carl Linnaeus in 1758. Around 50 living species were recognized, which vary in size from fairly small to very large. Six species live in the greater Caribbean region, including the queen conch, Strombus gigas, and the West Indian fighting conch, Strombus pugilis. However, since 2006, many species have been assigned to discrete genera. These new genera are, however, not yet found in most textbooks and collector's guides.
Tibia is a genus of large sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks.
Lambis is a genus of large sea snails sometimes known as spider conchs, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conch family.
Naticarius is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropods in the subfamily Naticinae of the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
Pterynotus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Muricinae of the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Tutufa is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Gibberulus gibberulus, common name the humpbacked conch, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Canarium labiatum, common name the Samar Conch, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Dolomena plicata, common name the pigeon conch, is a species of medium-sized to large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Euprotomus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Terebellum is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Seraphsidae, the Terebellum conchs.
Conomurex is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Laevistrombus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Canarium is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Dolomena is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Lentigo is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Doxander is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, the true conchs.
Rimellopsis powisii, common name Powis's tibia, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusks in the family Rostellariidae within the Stromboidea, the true conchs and their allies.
Laevistrombus turturella is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Strombidae. It is one of seven living species currently recognized as valid in its genus.
