Alice Pruvot-Fol

Alice Pruvot-Fol (4 August 1873 – 28 March 1972) was a French opisthobranch malacologist. She was the author of many new species, mostly described on the basis of preserved animals. She described a new species (Nembrotha rutilans, Pruvot-Fol, 1931) on the basis of a painted illustration in a book by William Saville-Kent (1893) entitled The Great Barrier Reef of Australia. She continued working and naming new species until late in her life. Even in 1962, when she was 89 years old, she named Phyllidia pulitzeri.
