This genus is composed of many well-marked sub- 

 genera, and it is, therefore, difficult to define it other- 

 wise than by describing the sub-genera. 



The species of this genus are usually marine; many 

 are, however, found in the rivers of South America. It 

 is found in all continents but Australia.
