Charlie and all of Conch-L:

        Yes, Tony Ferreria did indeed name Chaetopleura hanselman after Col.
George HaNselman as did Roger Clark in 1994 (Placiphorella hanselmani).

Ferreira, A.J. 1982. A new species of _Calloplax_ (Mollusca:
Polyplacophora) in the eastern Pacific. The Veliger 24(4):321-324.

Clark, R.N. 1994. Review of the genus _Placiphorella_ Dall, 1879, ex
Carpenter MS (Polyplacophora: Mopaliidae) with the descriptions of two new
species. The Veliger 34(3):290-311.

Hope this information helps.

Aloha,

Lindsey
