Linder,
It will be interesting to see what people say about this. I also have the two shells pictured in the Compendium
and I always assumed they were correctly identified (as did the collectors and then the dealers who handled them
before I got them). I do know that many of the Hemifusus are extremely hard to tell apart form each other, but
this is the first I have heard of confusion over these two species. So let us know what you hear.
