Hello,

In order to complete the distribution map of the many
forms of Oliva spicata and to confirm some my thoughts I'm
asking to the (shell-) travellers which visit often the Baja California
if they never collected the form called "fuscata" Marrat, 1871
in the Sea of Cortez.
(Or, as I think, this solid dark brown form of the Oliva spicata
only occours along the Pacific Coast of the Central America.)
Indeed I never found the fuscata during my trips to Baja.

Any information about this topic will be very appreciated.

Have a nice Sunday,

Maurizio.
