Arthur Erskine Ellis (1902 - 1983), often known as A.E. Ellis, was a British scientist, biologist and naturalist. Ellis is best known for his large number of malacological publications, including some which became essential texts on the subject of British non-marine malacology. To a lesser extent, Ellis published papers about other land invertebrates and various aspects of the fauna and flora of Britain. In addition Ellis had five ghost stories published.〔The Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, Arthur Erskine Ellis, 1902 – 1983, last revision by Pryce Buckle 17 November 2009 () accessed 25 January 2014〕 Ellis was also a plant collector. From 1919-1961 he contributed specimens of spermatophytes to a number of different herbariums in Britain.〔JSTOR Global Plants Ellis, Arthur Erskine (1902–1983), () Accessed 25 January 2014〕 Stella Turk, the British naturalist said about Ellis, "It is difficult to categorise people. Should one even try? We are all multiple in a singular way!"; she also commented, "As might have been expected, he wrote his own obituary in which he gives a broad outline of his life and very lengthy bibliography, (J. Conch. 31 1983).〔Stella Turk, "Stella Turk writes from Cornwall", 1 January 2013, The Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireand, "Mollusc World", http://www.conchsoc.org/MolluscWorld8/11, accessed 2014|01|06〕 ==Taxa named in his honor== Two taxa were named in Ellis' honor: * ''Limicolariopsis ellisi'' Crowley & Pain, 1964 (Rev.
