Neopilina starobogatovi is a species of monoplacophoran, a superficially limpet-like marine mollusc. [1] It is named after Yaroslav Starobogatov. [2]
Monoplacophora, meaning "bearing one plate", is a polyphyletic superclass of molluscs with a cap-like shell inhabiting deep sea environments. Extant representatives were not recognized as such until 1952; previously they were known only from the fossil record, and were thought to have become extinct 375 million years ago.
Neopilina is a highly derived genus of modern monoplacophoran.
Yaroslav Igorevich Starobogatov was a Russian zoologist, professor and chief scientist at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His research was on invertebrate zoology, particularly on molluscs (malacology) and crustaceans (carcinology). He also was a major contributor to the higher systematics of living organisms, to micro- and macroevolution and to Soviet and world-wide biogeography.
Tryblidiida is a taxon of monoplacophoran molluscans containing the only extant representatives: 37 species are still alive today, inhabiting the ocean at depths of between 175 and 6,400 metres.
After excluding groups not related, the informal group Sigmurethra has become the suborder Helicina, with the following infraorders and a collection of families with no superfamily：
Laevipilina antarctica is a species of monoplacophoran, a superficially limpet-like marine mollusk. It is found in the Weddell Sea and the Lazarev Sea of Antarctica.
Neopilina bruuni is a species of monoplacophoran, a superficially limpet-like marine mollusc. It is found in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, off the coast of South America.
Neopilina galatheae is a species of monoplacophoran, a superficially limpet-like marine mollusc. Its name means new Pilina. It lives in depths of 5000 meters and the shell is 3 centimeters in length in adults.
