James Hamilton McLean
James Hamilton McLean (17 June 1936 - 11 November 2016)Coan E. V., Kabat A. R. & Petit R. E. (15 February 2009''2,400 years of Malacology'' (6th Edition). was an American malacologist (a biologist who studies mollusks). He specialized in marine gastropods. He worked on many families of Eastern Pacific gastropods including the Fissurellidae, Trochidae, Turbinidae and Liotiidae, and also investigated deep sea gastropods from hydrothermal vents. McLean worked as a curator of Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County from 1964 to 2001 and was a curator emeritus there until his death in November 2016. Molluscs described McLean, often together with other malacologists, described, according to the database WoRMS, 385 new taxa.(7 December 2007) from Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County website At least 37 taxa were named for James McLean with the epithet ''macleani'' (according to WoRMS) He named numerous taxa of marine gastropods including: * Clypeosectidae McLean, 1989, a ...
