Henry Augustus Pilsbry (7 December 1862 – 26 October 1957) was an American biologist, malacologist and carcinologist, among other areas of study. He was a dominant presence in many fields of invertebrate taxonomy for the better part of a century.[2][3] For much of his career, his authority with respect to the classification of certain substantial groups of organisms was unchallenged: barnacles,[4][5] chitons,[6][7] North American terrestrial mollusks,[8][9][10][11] and others.
