Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Taxonomy: Troschel vs. Stimpson

The phrase "This family was originally named by........ between the Lithoglyphi and Ancyloti." appears to have been taken from Kabat & Hershler's "The Prosobranch Snail Family Hydrobiidae (Gastropoda: Rissooidea): Review of Classification and Supraspecific Taxa" (page 3), which was already referenced twice in this section of the article. The name there is Troschel, not Stimpson. And it seems to me that the phrase should either be quoted as is or left out altogether.
In the 2013 paper describing the new hydrobiid genus Karucia, Glöer and Pešić consider Troschel the family authority and so do Wilke et al. (2001), also referenced in the Taxonomy section of the article; however, Bouchet & Rocroi's 2005 Classification and Nomenclator of Gastropod Families, as well as most online databases (ITIS, Catalogue of Life, GBIF, WoRMS etc.), credit Stimpson with that. So the family authority in the taxobox can remain as it is, at least for now. XenoVon (talk) 09:54, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
