Titiscania limacina Bergh, 1890 |
Titiscania is the type genus[2] and also the only genus in the family Titiscaniidae.
The original vernacular spelling "Die Titiscanien" by Rudolph Bergh (1890)[1] was Latinized by Johannes Thiele in 1891.[2]
Excepting some parasitic forms, Titiscania is the only genus of gastropod outside of the Heterobranchia to have secondarily lost its mineralized shell,[4] which it sheds after its larval phase.[5]
Species
Species within the genus Titiscania include:
gollark: I mean, if you actually *have* to, you can probably just DM him, he's on this Discord server.
gollark: Remotely disable any nearby car engines somehow.
gollark: Sound an extremely loud buzzer if anyone goes near you.
gollark: Perhaps you could automatically launch lawsuits against anyone who drives badly near you somehow.
gollark: You could try making your bike more visible, yes. This seems reasonable. As long as it doesn't blind people.
