César Auguste Récluz
Constant A. Récluz (1797–1873) was a French malacologist.[1]
He worked as a pharmacist in Vaugirard; as an amateur malacologist, he specialized in the family Neritidae, of which he described approximately 200 species. Much of his conchology collection was acquired by Jules Paul Benjamin Delessert.[2]
In 1853 Sauveur Abel Aubert Petit de la Saussaye named the sea snail genus Recluzia in his honour. He also has several species named after him; examples being Conus recluzianus, Polinices reclusianus and Paramya recluzi.[3]
