common name

[edit]

I believe the common name should be "glory of the sea" not "glory of the seas". That would fit with the taxonomic name, where "maris" is genitive singular ("of the sea"), instead of the genitive plural "marium" ("of the seas"). There are precedents in the literature: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=conus+gloriamaris+glory-of-the-&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C45 Lakshwadeep (talk) 19:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct. I've changed the name. JoJan (talk) 14:44, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
