Dear Paul,
do you have a few specimens from this Smaragdia from the PI
for the museum in Innsbruck to have a comparison and as I asked
you some time ago a second Tegula pellisserpentis.
with best thanks in advance and best shelling greetings

In addition to the Caribbean and Mediterranean versions of the "emerald
nerite", there is an extremely similar form from the Philippines, called
Smaragdia rangiana. Tom, I have some of those if you need some.
