Subject: two different shells or two names for same species??
HI there.
I had purchased a white version of a murex at the shell show,
that looks exactly like some others I have
, and they also have data slips inside,
I looked at all the slips and found I have several different names here:
One group of data slips says Chicoreus cichoreum, (Gmelin, 1791),
and another says Chicoreus cichoreum endivic Lamarck, 1883 ..?
I think the year is correct (hand written).
I looked them up on the internet and found pictures and another name,
Hexaplex cichoreum (Dunker, 1869).
So that is 3 different names and authors. Which is correct?
Thanks for any sources you can point me to.
