Genera

Genera in the family Omphalotrochidae include:

  • Omphalotrochus Meek, 1864 - type genus of the family Omphalotrochidae
gollark: It's a shame, too. We really need more diversity in browser engines, not less.
gollark: It is *now*.
gollark: Optane can't be manufactured stacked or something, so I think it's going to stay forever as a faster and more robust but much more expensive alternative to NAND flash.
gollark: Seems pretty evil, I guess.
gollark: Then you need to spend giant amounts of money.
