Good Dr. Campbell,
Not being familiar with Ms. Serb's work, do you know if new names have been
proposed and for which river populations, or have varieties such as C.
aberti "lamarckiana" Lea 1852 been proposed for full specific status? To
which publication was the paper submitted? I look forward to having three
species instead of one!
Merry Christmas!

species as currently used probably includes more than one species. There
are anatomical distinctives, but the shells are very similar.
