James,
I think you could list at least three drupa as being uncommon; Drupa ambusta
from Japan, Drupa lobata from the Red Sea, and Drupa rubusidaeus from the
Indian Ocean/Pacific. Some might also call Drupa clathra from the Pacific
uncommon. There are undoubtedly others I haven't heard of or subspecies
that seldom make a dealer's list. I think you will find their availability
varies (like a lot of shells) and what seems readily available this year is
tough to get next year -- or vise versa.
