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).

The hairy snails and their allies?

Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Now I'm sure of one thing--I don't know anything about snails. But I do know that the concept of "allies" generally involves some degree of sentience, and most snails seem to have a dearth of this quality. Of course, I know my ignorance may extend to a zoological concept of "allies" beyond that with which I am familiar, but if that's the case, then there should be some link to an appropriate article explaining the concept. Otherwise, it just looks like someone is trying to make a funny. 76.106.149.108 (talk) 05:24, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

From the on-line version of Merriam-Webster's dictionary (link here):
(plural al·lies): a plant or animal linked to another by genetic or taxonomic proximity. XenoVon (talk) 11:26, 26 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
