Solatisonax is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Architectonicidae, the staircase shells or sundials. [1]
According to the World Register of Marine Species, the following species are included in the genus Solatisonax: [2]
Species brought into synonymy include:
Architectonicidae, common name the staircase shells or sundials, are a family of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the informal group "Lower Heterobranchia" of the clade Heterobranchia.
Galeommatidae is a family of small and very small saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs in the order Galeommatida.
Verticordiidae is a family of benthic marine bivalves in the superorder Anomalodesmata. These clams range from 2 - 200 millimeters in length and are mainly found in coastal waters surrounding Australia and the Americas, though a few species within this family such as Haliris mediopacifica are found in the middle of the ocean. Verticordiidae is known for being a family of septibranchs, or predatory bivalves, rather than filter feeders. Clams dig vertical burrows in substrate and use papillae around the edges of their inhalant siphons to detect microscopic prey. Some clams in this family, specifically in the genus Trigonulina, have distinct extended circular formations on their shells.
Homalopoma, common name the dwarf turbans, is a genus of mostly very small sea snails with a calcareous operculum, marine gastropoda molluscs in the subfamily Colloniinae of the family Colloniidae.
Seguenziidae is a family of very small deepwater sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Seguenzioidea.
Architectonica is a genus of sea snails in the family Architectonicidae.
Puncturella is a genus of minute deepwater keyhole limpets, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets and slit limpets.
Pleurotomella is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Gymnobela is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Raphitomidae.
Cyclostrema is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Liotiidae.
Melanella is a genus of very small ectoparasitic sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks or micromollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Cerithiella is a genus of minute sea snails, marine gastropod molluscs in the family Newtoniellidae.
Psilaxis is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Architectonicidae, the staircase shells or sundials.
Solatisonax cabrali is a species of deep-water sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Architectonicidae, the staircase shells or sundials.
Pseudotorinia is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Architectonicidae, the staircase shells or sundials.
Aclis is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Eulimidae.
Iphitus is a genus of small sea snails, marine gastropods in the family Epitoniidae of the superfamily Epitonioidea, the wentletraps, the purple snails, and their allies.
Rüdiger Bieler is a German-American biologist whose primary scientific field of study is malacology, the study of mollusks.
