Ancistrobasis Boucheti
''Ancistrobasis'' is a genus of sea snails, marine (ocean), and marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), family Seguenziidae. William Healey Dall, Dall (1889) regarded (with some doubt) ''Ancistrobasis'' as a section of the closely related genus ''Basilissa'' ''Watson, 1879''. Description This genus contains the dentate forms of species formerly included in the genus ''Basilissa''. Gastropod shell, Shell: The conical shell shows peripheral carina and collabral axial riblets. The midwhorl angulation and the spiral Lira (mollusc), lirae are present on all Whorl (mollusc), whorls. The posterior sinus depth is shallow. The posterior sinus has a U-shape. The anterolateral sinus is absent. The rhomboidal aperture (mollusc), aperture contains a basal and columellar sinus. The umbilical septum (a transverse plate secreted with early formed whorls of the shell) is absent. The shell contains pustulate microsculpture. Radula: The rachidian tooth is broader than high with latera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He described many mollusks of the Pacific Northwest of North America, and was for many years America's preeminent authority on living and fossil mollusks. Dall also made substantial contributions to ornithology, zoology, Biological anthropology, physical and cultural anthropology, oceanography, and paleontology. In addition he carried out meteorological observations in Alaska for the Smithsonian Institution. Biography Early life Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father Charles Henry Appleton Dall, (1816–86), a Unitarianism, Unitarian minister, moved in 1855 to India as a missionary.

Rodolfo Amando (or Rudolph Amandus) Philippi (14 September 1808 – 23 July 1904) was a German–Chilean paleontologist and zoologist. Philippi contributed primarily to malacology and paleontology, but also published a major work on Diptera of Chile. His grandson, Rodulfo Amando Philippi Bañados (1905-1969), was also a zoologist and in order to avoid confusion in zoological nomenclature, the elder is referred to as "Philippi rumwiede to distinguish him from his grandson "Philippi añados. Early life Philippi was born in Charlottenburg, Berlin to Johann Wilhelm Eberhard Philippi, a Prussian government auditor, and his third wife Maria Anna Krumwiede (m. 1806).

Mattheus Marinus Schepman
Mattheus Marinus Schepman (17 August 1847 – 19 November 1919) was a Dutch malacologist. He was one of the foremost collectors of mollusc shells in the Netherlands, and was also high on the overall list of European collectors. Dutch collectors developed an interest in natural history specimens that were collected on worldwide expeditions since the 16th century. An interest in conchology led to numerous shell publications. In 1934 the Nederlandse Malacologische Vereniging (Netherlands Malacological Society) was founded. In commemoration of its 75th anniversary, a book honoring in detail the work of Mattheus Schepman was published. His research Schepman was both a collector and a methodical scientist, which combination "made his collection of great value to the entire malacological community." He was given the opportunity to study a collection by Max Carl Wilhelm Weber, Director of the Zoölogisch Museum Amsterdam (ZMA). Many of the specimens he studied and collected were gathe ...
