Pseudamycla is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails. [1]
Species within the genus Pseudamycla include: [1]
The Indo-Pacific Molluscan Database (OBIS) also includes the following species with names in current use :
Sea snail is a common name for slow-moving marine gastropod molluscs, usually with visible external shells, such as whelk or abalone. They share the taxonomic class Gastropoda with slugs, which are distinguished from snails primarily by the absence of a visible shell.
Cone snails, or cones, are highly venomous sea snails of the family Conidae.
Calliostoma is a genus of small to medium-sized sea snails with gills and an operculum, marine gastropod molluscs within the family Calliostomatidae, the Calliostoma top snails. Previously this genus was placed within the family Trochidae. Calliostoma is the type genus of the family Calliostomatidae.
Neritidae, common name the nerites, is a taxonomic family of small to medium-sized saltwater and freshwater snails which have a gill and a distinctive operculum.
Hipponix, common name hoof snails or hoof shells, is a genus of small sea snails with limpet-like shells, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Hipponicidae, the hoof snails. Many of the species in this genus have white shells.
Freshwater snails are gastropod mollusks that live in fresh water. There are many different families. They are found throughout the world in various habitats, ranging from ephemeral pools to the largest lakes, and from small seeps and springs to major rivers. The great majority of freshwater gastropods have a shell, with very few exceptions. Some groups of snails that live in freshwater respire using gills, whereas other groups need to reach the surface to breathe air. In addition, some are amphibious and have both gills and a lung. Most feed on algae, but many are detritivores and some are filter feeders.
Coninae, or as it is more recently represented as a family, Conidae, common names the cone snails, cone shells or cones, is a taxonomic group of small to large predatory sea snails with cone-shaped shells, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Conoidea.
Agatrix is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.
Aphera is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.
Bivetiella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.
Sveltella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Cancellariidae, the nutmeg snails.
Calotrophon is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Eupleura is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Purpurellus is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Trachypollia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Typhis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
Sigatica is a genus of predatory sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Naticidae, the moon snails.
Conus is a genus of predatory sea snails, or cone snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Conidae. Prior to 2009, it included all cone snail species but is now more precisely defined, as are other cone snail genera.
Pseudamycla dermestoidea is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.
