Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005).

1882[edit]

Dunker W. B. R. H. & Pfeiffer L. G. K.. 1882. Index Molluscorum Maris Japonici, Conscriptus et Tabulis Iconum XVI Illustratus a Guilielmo Dunker. Cassellis Cattorum [Kassel], sumptibus Theodori Fischer. (Novitates Conchologicae, Supplement 7), 301 p., 16 pls., Kassel. (In Latin).

Where is an evidence, that Pfeiffer is the coauthor of this book? --Snek01 (talk) 22:54, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely correct. This work is ONLY authored by Dunker. Must be a mistake in the biodiversity heritage library. The correct reference would be:

Dunker W. B. R. H.. 1882. Index molluscorum maris japonici, conscriptus et tabulis iconum xvi illustratus a Guilielmo Dunker. Fischer: Cassellis Cattorum [Kassel]. Series Novitates conchologicae. Suppl. 7: 1-301.

24 species named after him?[edit]

Can we be sure that all 24 of these species were named after this particular Pfeiffer? There were two other Pfeiffers that were malacologists. Invertzoo (talk) 13:15, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
