Knefastia dalli

Classification

Knefastia dalli, common name Dall's turrid, is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Pseudomelatomidae, the turrids and allies. Taxonomy Knefastia dalli was described by the American malacologist Paul Bartsch in 1944, in the Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington. Bartsch introduced the name for the Gulf of California shell that Reeve had figured in 1843 as "Pleurotoma funiculata", a name preoccupied by Pleurotoma funiculata Kiener, 1839.
