Parmacella deshayesi is a species of air-breathing land snail, a terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Parmacellidae.
Distribution of this species include:
The animal is evenly brown, in the young animals sometimes with blackish streaks or spots. [2] The mantle length is 55% of body. [2] The size of preserved specimen is up to 60 mm. [2]
The shell is thin-walled, delicate. [2] The apex is completely smooth, yellow. [2]
Phacops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae, that lived in Europe, northwestern Africa, North and South America and China from the Late Ordovician until the very end of the Devonian, with a broader time range described from the Late Ordovician. It was a rounded animal, with a globose head and large eyes, and probably fed on detritus. Phacops is often found rolled up ("volvation"), a biological defense mechanism that is widespread among smaller trilobites but further perfected in this genus.
The wildlife of Libya is spread over the Mediterranean coastline and encompasses large areas of the Saharan desert. The protection of wildlife is provided through appropriate legislation in seven national parks, five reserves, 24 protected areas, two wetlands under Ramsar Convention, and also in other areas. Apart from these, there are also five UNESCO World Heritage Sites related to culture. The most important national parks are the El-Kouf National Park and Karabolli National Park. The well known nature reserves are the Benghazi Reserve and the Zellaf Reserve. The wildlife species recorded in the country are 87 mammals and 338 species of birds.
