Low	This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.
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.

common name[edit]

I believe the common name should be "glory of the sea" not "glory of the seas". That would fit with the taxonomic name, where "maris" is genitive singular ("of the sea"), instead of the genitive plural "marium" ("of the seas"). There are precedents in the literature: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=conus+gloriamaris+glory-of-the-&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C45 Lakshwadeep (talk) 19:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct. I've changed the name. JoJan (talk) 14:44, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
