Staffordia daflaensis (valid species?, family?) - Godwin-Austen H. H. 1908. Mollusca. Testacellidae and Zonitidae. Taylor & Francis, London, page 297. --Snek01 (talk) 22:54, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This species is in the family Staffordiidae. Whether this species name is still considered a valid name I do not know. It is mentioned here: [1]Invertzoo (talk) 22:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)] and here: [2]][reply]

Result: Delisted. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 20:41, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article looks pretty bad. There seems to be numerous uncited material such as

  • In some languages, the dart that these snails use before mating is known as an "arrow". For example, in German it is called a Liebespfeil or "love arrow", and in Czech it is šíp lásky (which means "arrow of love").
  • possibly many things in the tables

Then there's the fact that this article is mostly empty and likely fails broadness. There are three tables that are completely empty, 2 tables that are incomplete and other tables who may not be cited. There needs to be some fixing here. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
