Odontosagda is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the family Sagdidae.
Species within the genus Odontosagda include:
Invertebrates is an umbrella term describing animals that neither develop nor retain a vertebral column, which evolved from the notochord. It is a paraphyletic grouping including all animals excluding the chordate subphylum Vertebrata, i.e. vertebrates. Well-known phyla of invertebrates include arthropods, mollusks, annelids, echinoderms, flatworms, cnidarians, and sponges.
Libbie Henrietta Hyman, was an American zoologist. She wrote numerous works on invertebrate zoology and the widely used A Laboratory Manual for Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy.
Malacology is the branch of invertebrate zoology that deals with the study of the Mollusca, the second-largest phylum of animals in terms of described species after the arthropods. Mollusks include snails and slugs, clams, and cephalopods, along with numerous other kinds, many of which have shells. Malacology derives from Ancient Greek μαλακός (malakós) 'soft', and -λογία (-logía).
Richard Kenneth Dell was a New Zealand malacologist.
The Florida Museum of Natural History (FLMNH) is Florida's official state-sponsored and chartered natural history museum. Its main facilities are located at 3215 Hull Road on the campus of the University of Florida in Gainesville.
The Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology published by the Geological Society of America and the University of Kansas Press, is a definitive multi-authored work of some 50 volumes, written by more than 300 paleontologists, and covering every phylum, class, order, family, and genus of fossil and extant invertebrate animals. The prehistoric invertebrates are described as to their taxonomy, morphology, paleoecology, stratigraphic and paleogeographic range. However, taxa with no fossil record whatsoever have just a very brief listing.
David William Steadman is a paleontologist and ornithologist, and Curator Emeritus of ornithology at the Florida Museum of Natural History at the University of Florida.
Stenophysa marmorata is a species of air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic gastropod mollusk in the family Physidae.
Winston Frank Ponder is a malacologist born and educated in New Zealand who has named and described many marine and freshwater animals, especially micromolluscs.
Laevistrombus canarium is a species of edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Strombidae. Known from illustrations in books dating from the late 17th century, L. canarium is an Indo-Pacific species occurring from India and Sri Lanka to Melanesia, Australia and southern Japan. The shell of adult individuals is coloured from light yellowish-brown to golden to grey. It has a characteristic inflated body whorl, a flared, thick outer lip, and a shallow stromboid notch. The shell is valued as an ornament, and because it is heavy and compact, it is also often used as a sinker for fishing nets.
George Alan Solem, known professionally as Alan Solem, was an American malacologist, a biologist who studied mollusks.
Turritella maculata is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Turritellidae.
Lampasopsis rhodostoma, common name the Wine-mouth frog shell, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Bursidae, the frog shells.
Alvania porcupinae is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc or micromollusk in the family Rissoidae.
Margarella expansa is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Calliostomatidae.
Colotrachelus hestica is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudococculinidae, the false limpets.
Notocrater gracilis is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudococculinidae, the false limpets.
Scissurella rota is a species of minute sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk or micromollusk in the family Scissurellidae, the little slit snails.
Goniaeolis is a monotypic genus of sea slug, a nudibranch, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Goniaeolididae containing the single species Goniaeolis typica. Goniaeolis is also the only genus within the family Goniaeolididae.
Odontosagda superbum is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Sagdidae.
