Wentletrap page

[edit]

Shouldn't this article,Wentletrap be more for the amateur shell collector and concholigist with general information, leaving the more scientific and taxomonic discussion to the Epitoniidae article. The two can be linked to each other.

Varicopalia

[edit]

I cannot find any valid reference to this name (WoRMS, OBIS, Malacolog, Nomenclator Zoologicus). Others have also questioned the validity of this name [1] and [2]. However the genus Varicopalia is mentioned in the Taxonomicon [3], without mentioning of authorship. Varicopalia (this time with author Kuroda MS, 1960) is described as a nomen nudum in this list [4]. A nomen nudum is a name that originally has been intended to be a scientific name, but fails to be one because it was not (or not yet) published with an adequate description (or a reference to such a description), and thus is a "bare" or "naked" name, one which cannot be accepted as it currently stands. As such, I'll give this genus the mentioning "nomen nudum". JoJan (talk) 03:37, 23 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reference "A Master Index to the Species Names in the Family Epitoniidae." has a broken link.--Mideal (talk) 10:46, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
