Recently I obtained the Oliva collections of Dennis Sargent and Bill
Hamilton. Several supposed albinistic Oliva sayana all appeared to be
discolored specimens. No albinistic Oliva incrassata in both collections.
Presumable there will be quite a few albinistic Oliva incrassata in US
collections which are actually discolored golden specimens (f.burchorum).

Since I am busy with an article about albinism, melanism, aurantism and
erythrism in Olividae I am looking for real albinistic specimens
O.incrassata and O.sayana for sale or exchange.
