Overview

[ Back to top ]

Enidae is a family of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks.

In this family, the number of haploid chromosomes lies between 21 and 25 (according to the values in this table).[1]

Taxonomy

1998 taxonomy

The following subfamilies of Enidae are based on work by Schileyko (1998)[2] and they are in use mainly by Russian malacologists:[3]

2005 taxonomy

The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005):

    Pene

    Penne ( or US /'p?ne?/) is a type of pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces. Penne is the plural form of the Italian penna, deriving from Latin penna (meaning "feather" or "quill"), and is a cognate of the English word pen. In Italy, penne are produced in two main variants: "penne lisce" (smooth) and "penne rigate" (furrowed), the latter having ridges on each penna. There is also pennoni ("big quills"), which is a wider version of penne. The same or similar shape is also called mostaccioli (meaning "little mustache" in Italian, a form of penne lisce that is smooth, not ridged, in texture) and ziti (long hollow rods which are also smooth in texture and have square-cut edges; "cut ziti" are ziti cut into shorter tubes), and can refer to particular dishes made from penne-shaped pasta. There is also zitoni, which is a wider version of ziti. It can be somewhat difficult to differentiate between subtypes of penne in the USA, since regional differences in product naming can result in both ridged and smooth forms of penne being labelled interchangeably. In the U.S., many people refer to penne as "penne pasta," while other types of pasta are not typically referred to in this manner. [more]
