Subject: Questions for Strombidae taxonomists. : )


> Hello everyone,
>
>      I'm seeking help from Strombidae taxonomists with respect to authors
of the following genera:
>
>           1. Aliger
>           2. Dolomena
>           3. Doxander
>           4. Lobatus
>
> I've read in Abbott's monograph on the genus Strombus in the Indo-Pacific
that Dolomena and
> Doxander are attributed to Iredale, 1931.  However, I've recently been
told that these names are
> incorrect in that they are nomen nuda (sp?) under Iredale.  Is this true?
If so, what genera
> names should be used in place of Dolomena and Doxander?  As for Aliger and
Lobatus, I can't seem
> to find the authors or dates anywhere.  Any help you can provide will be
greatly appreciated.
> Thanks in advance and I'll look forward to hearing from you soon.  Bye for
now. :)

> Sincerely,
> Tim
