Bela (gastropod)
''Bela'' is a genus of sea snails; marine (ocean), marine gastropod mollusks in the family (biology), family Mangeliidae. Taxonomy Because of taxonomic uncertainty regarding the type species, many authors in the 19th century e.g. G.O. Sars (1878) and W.H.Dall (1919) used the generic name ''Bela'' for unrelated species correctly placed in ''Propebela'', ''Oenopota'' or ''Curtitoma'', and then used ''Raphitoma'' for species currently placed in ''Bela''. Description The ovate shell is fusiform. The surface is dull, smooth, or longitudinally ribbed. The Spire (mollusc), spire is elevated and shorter than the body whorl. The Columella (gastropod), columella is flattened. The siphonal canal is short. The outer Lip (gastropod), lip shows a small sinus at its junction with the body whorl. Species Species within the genus ''Bela (gastropod)'' include: * ''Bela alma'' Thiele, 1925 * ''Bela ampla'' Smith, E.A., 1884 (taxon inquirendum) * † ''Bela angulifera'' (de Boury, 1899) * † '' ...

John Edward Gray
John Edward Gray (12 February 1800 – 7 March 1875) was a British zoologist. He was the elder brother of zoologist George Robert Gray and son of the pharmacologist and botanist Samuel Frederick Gray (1766–1828). The same is used for a zoological name. Gray was keeper of zoology at the British Museum in London from 1840 until Christmas 1874, before the natural history holdings were split off to the Natural History Museum. He published several catalogues of the museum collections that included comprehensive discussions of animal groups and descriptions of new species. He improved the zoological collections to make them amongst the best in the world. Biography Gray was born in Walsall, but his family soon moved to London, where Gray studied medicine. He assisted his father in writing ''The Natural Arrangement of British Plants'' (1821). After being blackballed by the Linnean Society of London, Gray shifted his interest from botany to zoology. He began his zoological ...

Bela Decussata
''Bela decussata'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Mangeliidae. Taxonomy The taxonomy of ''Bela decussata'' (Couthouy, 1839) has changed due to repeated reclassification. The accepted name of this species is neither a primary homonym, nor currently a secondary homonym of ''B. decussata.'' Other members of this genus such as ''Bela arctica'' have been lumped and split into different genera throughout their history of classification based on morphology. Genetic testing and subsequent phylogenetic clustering would shed light on the specifics of taxonomic relationships with finer detail. ''B. decussata'' is a synonym of Curtitoma decussata (Couthouy, 1839) (originally described as ''Pleurotoma decussatum''). Description The length of the shell attains 5 mm. Distribution This marine species occurs in Atlantic France France, officially the French Republic, is a country located primarily in Western Europe. Overseas France, Its oversea ...
