•  Support - Beautiful shell. How did it get its odd Latin name? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:48, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
  •  Comment The original description of Linné, "Systema naturae per regna tria naturae :secundum classes, ordines, genera, species, cum characteribus, differentiis, synonymis, locis.", 1758, Vol. 1, p. 750 reads as follows: "Testa suturis labiisque dilatato-membranaceis, gibbosa reticulato tuberculata, apertura sinuosa, caudata erecta". That's all. No comment on the origin of the species name "anus". But he cites also six older (Pre-Linnean) authors. That means, the shell was already known before Linné, and the name was possibly given far before 1758. --Llez (talk) 10:13, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
