one interesting dead Liguus i picked up  in the Florida  Redlands makes me
wonder about the robustness of the named forms....this guy started out as
castaneozonatus, and then has a break/mend on the body whorl about half an
inch from the growing edge of the lip, and from the mend to the lip, the
shell has no more black bands,  just thin pencil lines of color,  not
unlike other named forms, but nothing like castaneozonatus.

is that unusual?
