The public source identifies “Dentellaria” as genus of gastropods. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Dentellaria, genus and gastropods.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Dentellaria”, the useful work is to connect “genus of gastropods” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q104637512. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1850, 1849, 1859 and 1846.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
