Doto (gastropod)
''Doto'' is a genus of sea slug, a nudibranch in the family Dotidae. This genus feeds on hydroids, as reflected by its serrated radula.

Dexiarchia
The Dexiarchia are a suborder of sea slugs, shell-less marine gastropod molluscs in the order Nudibranchia. This classification is based on the study by Schrödl ''et al.,'' published in 2001, who recognized within this clade two clades Pseudoeuctenidiacea and Cladobranchia. Taxonomy Clade Pseudoeuctenidiacea ( = Doridoxida) *Superfamily Doridoxoidea **Family Doridoxidae Clade Cladobranchia ( = Cladohepatica) Contains the subclades Euarminida, Dendronotida and Aeolidida *Not assigned to a superfamily ( Metarminoidea) **Family Charcotiidae **Family Dironidae **Family Embletoniidae **Family Goniaeolididae **Family Heroidae **Family Madrellidae **Family Pinufiidae **Family Proctonotidae Subclade Euarminida *Superfamily Arminoidea **Family Arminidae **Family Doridomorphidae Subclade Dendronotida *Superfamily Tritonioidea **Family Tritoniidae **Family Aranucidae **Family Bornellidae **Family Dendronotidae **Family Dotidae **Family Hancockiidae **Family Lomanotidae **Family ...

John Edward Gray
John Edward Gray, FRS (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.

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.

Arthur William Baden Powell
Arthur William Baden Powell (4 April 1901 – 1 July 1987) was a New Zealand malacologist, naturalist and palaeontologist, a major influence in the study and classification of New Zealand molluscs through much of the 20th century. He was known to his friends and family by his third name, "Baden". Biography Early life The name Baden had been a given name in a Powell family since 1731, when Susannah Powell née Thistlethwayte (1696–1762) gave to her child (1731–1792) the maiden name of her mother, Susannah Baden (1663–1692). The name Baden, particularly when associated with the surname Powell, became famous in 1900–1901, the year Arthur William Baden Powell was born, because of the siege of Mafeking, the most famous British action in the Second Boer War, which turned the British commander of the besieged, Robert Baden-Powell, into a national hero. Throughout the British Empire, babies were named after him. No family connection has yet been established between Arthur W ...
