Harry, I wish you would stop making me change all my labels!

Seriously, thanks for keeping us up to date.

> Trachypollia turricula  (von Maltzan, 1884)  Twin Drupe  [2]  16 mm.
> Known primarily by its synonym T. didyma (Schwengel, 1943), which E. Vokes
> (1996) considered distinct. It was first reported amphi-Atlantic in
> distribution by Talavera (1982), who mistakenly synonymized it with the E.
> Atlantic T. suga (Fischer-Piette, 1942), which is now placed in Muricopsis
> (Risomurex). T. turricula, originally described from the East Atlantic, is the
> proper assignment of our species (Houart, 1997). Illustration in Abbott (1974;
> sp. 1873) is miscaptioned; it appears to be a Muricopsis (Risomurex) species.
> Enlarges known range vs. Abbott (1974): “South Florida to Texas and the West
> Indies. Brazil.”
