High	This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.
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). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

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]
