Paul, et.al,
This is definitely Cyclophorus daraganicus Hidalgo, 1888. The
pattern and shape are characteristic of the species. C. prietoi has
a slightly channeled suture and tigrinus has more defined and more
numerous spiral cords. The illustration I have in Hidalgo (1891) is
identical to Paul's shell. Zigzag patterns in Cyclophorids are a
common occurrence; the pattern on some specimens being more sharply
defined than others.
Also note that Wolfgang's spelling "daraganicus" is correct. An
extra "n" slipped in for the caption in Compendium.
