Hello,

I have several Cypraea tigris in my collection with labels giving names as
specific subspecies, including:

lyncicrosa (Steadman & Cotton 1943)
schilderiana (Cate, C.N. 1961)
pardalis (Shaw 1795)

Could someone please confirm whether these are currently valid subspecies
names or not, and if the author details are correct. Some labels are quite
old and some are handwritten meaning I can't be 100% sure of spelling.

Many thanks & regards,
Barbara Jouvernaux
