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
