Hi Murex peoples,

I was cataloguing some shells today, and came across
Eddie Hardy's listings of Triquetra triqueter and T.
trigonulus, and see that he shows the two names to
be synonyms.  Since there are obviously (at least) two
species shown on this page, I wonder which is the
real T. triqueter?  I also wonder what is the correct
name of the other species.  One is the tall-spired,
usually pink, more frilly shell from scuba depth, the
other is an intertidal brown and white shell that is
somewhat similar, but has a shorter spire and isn't
nearly as frilly.  Can someone straighten me out on
these two names?

Many thanks,


Don
