Dear Jim,

Page one <http://www.jaxshells.org/022311.htm>, 
to which you can also link at the bottom of p. 2) 
is intended to answer your questions.

Range: NC to Uruguay for Semicassis granulata. 
The form cicatricosa has been reported from FL to Ceará, (NE) Brasil.

About one in a dozen of our Jax shells has a 
varix in addition to the labral one, but I don't recall seeing a corded shell.

Harry
