Hi David,
As per your message below, I am simply going by what is in the Rombouts
Pecten book which describes Euvola raveneli (Dall, 1898) on page 39. If it
is just in the process of being described, what is it doing in the book? I
admit that I am not very sophisticated when it comes to the formal science,
so I just go on the best information I have. Maybe you can elaborate on
what the difference is between the species in the book and the species in
the process of getting described. I find this enormously confusing (but
then I find a lot of things rather confusing).
 
In any event, I appreciate your input and information (but darn, it won't
help me find a zigzag!).
 
Best regards,
Jim
