Greg,
I'm a land snail guy, but also a retired lawyer and a nerd on the
Rules of Zoological Nomenclature.Your mention of S. d. k. ethylae
raised a question in my mind: was the name published as an
infrasubspecific taxon, thus raising the question of whether the name
was properly published for purposes of zoological nomenclature (see
Art. 45.5 and 45.6 of the Code). The name doesn't show up in
MolluscaBase.

 Hi Everybody
 I'm looking for information on the Ethel L Townsend collection..
 I'm looking to find the holotype of Scaphella (Aurinia) dubia kieneri
ethylae which was in that private collection.
 Best Regards
 Greg
