In 1994, Seine & Barthlott divided the genus into three subgenera
and 11 sections
on the basis of morphological
characteristics.
Discovery and description of new species has been occurring since the 10th century, and as recently as the 1940s barely more than 80 species were known. In recent years an Australian by the name of Allen Lowrie
has done extensive work in the genus, particularly in describing numerous new species from Australia
. His classification of the genus was replaced by Jan Schlauer's work in 1996, although the correct classification is still disputed.
Subgenus
In biology, a subgenus is a taxonomic rank directly below genus.In zoology, a subgeneric name can be used independently or included in a species name, in parentheses, placed between the generic name and the specific epithet: e.g. the Tiger Cowry of the Indo-Pacific, Cypraea tigris Linnaeus, which...

Section (botany)
In botany, a section is a taxonomic rank below the genus, but above the species. The subgenus, if present, is higher than the section, and the rank of series, if present, is below the section. Sections are typically used to help organise very large genera, which may have hundreds of species...
