Dear Conch-Lers -
I did not expect any rave notices about my recent contribution regarding
various cymatium species (nor did it deserve any), but I was hoping at
least one person (hopefully more) would give me his thoughts as to what
constitutes a valid species as compared to a geographical subspecies. Is
it simply a matter of degree? Or merely at the whim of the describer? Or
is that an unanswerable question?
