Dear Conchlers and specialists of Acmaeidae and Lottiidae

There are a few names of about 20 species which are in the
collection of the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum. Could
anybody help me with the right Genera. I'll name here only the
species name with available author. Please correct the authors and
set the right Genera aside.

asmi (Middendorff, 1849)
depicta (Hinds, 1840)
fascicularis (Menke, 1851)
insessa (Hinds, 1842)
paleacea (Gould, 1853)
subrugosa (D'Orbigny, 1846)

Collisella:

digitalis (Rathke, 1833)
leucopleura (Gmelin, 1791)
limatula (Carpenter, 1864)
pelta (Rathke, 1833)
scabra (Gould, 1846)
stanfordiana Berry, 1957
striata (Quoy & Gaimard, 1834)
strigatella (Carpenter, 1864)

Scurria mesoleuca (Menke, 1851)

Do these species all belong to Lottiidae. Please control the names
and tell me the right genera and authors.

Maybe sure for me is only

Fam. Acmaeidae
Acmaea mitra Rathke, 1833
Acmaea virginea (O. F. Müller, 1774) from the Mediterranean

Fam. Lottiidae
Lottia gigantea Sowerby, 1834
Patelloidea saccharina (Linnaeus, 1758)

with best thanks in advance for your kindly help and best shelling
greetings from Innsbruck
