Simnia Hiscocki
''Simnia'' is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Ovulidae. Taxonomy Dolin & Ledon (2002) considered that the lectotype of ''Simnia nicaeensis'' Risso, 1826, type species of ''Simnia'', is a juvenile specimen of ''Simnia spelta'' (Linnaeus, 1758) type species of '' Neosimnia'' Fischer, 1884. This makes ''Simnia'' an objective synonym of ''Neosimnia''. Accordingly, all the species treated in Lorenz & Fehse (2009) under ''Neosimnia'' should thereby be accepted under ''Simnia''. Likewise, all the species treated by Lorenz & Fehse (2009) under ''Simnia'' should thereby be accepted under ''Xandarovula'' Cate, 1973. The assumptions of Dolin (Dolin & Ledon, 2002) are based on interpretations but not on the examination of the type material. Fehse (2016) has confirmed the vaility of the genus Neosimnia because the lectotype of ''Simnia nicaeensis'' Risso, 1826, type species of ''Simnia'', is never a juvenile specimen of ''Simnia spelta'' (Linnaeus, 1758) type ...

Simnia Spelta
''Simnia spelta'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Ovulidae, the ovulids, which are cowrie allies sometimes called "false cowries". It was first described in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. Description ''Simnia spelta'' grows to a length of about . The shell is roughly egg or cigar-shaped with a flattened base. It is strong, thick, smooth and glossy, with inrolled edges at the sides of the long aperture on the underside. The colouring varies according to the species of gorgonian on which it is living. The background colour of the shell is white, yellow, pink or orange, often with white spots or dark spots, marbling or streaks, providing camouflage. As is commonly the case in '' Simnia'' species, the colour of all the visible soft parts normally matches the colour of the gorgonian on which the snail is grazing, as the pigment from the gorgonian is retained in the mantle of the mollusk. Distribution ''Simnia spelta'' was at one t ...

William Healey Dall
William Healey Dall (August 21, 1845 – March 27, 1927) was an American naturalist, a prominent malacologist, and one of the earliest scientific explorers of interior Alaska. He described many mollusks of the Pacific Northwest of America, and was for many years America's preeminent authority on living and fossil mollusks. Dall also made substantial contributions to ornithology, zoology, physical and cultural anthropology, oceanography and paleontology. In addition he carried out meteorological observations in Alaska for the Smithsonian Institution. Biography Early life Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father Charles Henry Appleton Dall, (1816–86), a Unitarian minister, moved in 1855 to India as a missionary. His family however stayed in Massachusetts, where Dall's mother Caroline Wells Healey was a teacher, transcendentalist, reformer, and pioneer feminist. In 1862, Dall's father, on one of his few brief visits home, brought his son in contact with some natu ...
