Dear Conch- L'ers,
I read on Thierry Dandrimont 's web site that melanistic Cypraea
tigris does not exist in New Caledonia. Is this true ? That sounds
weird to me. I thought all the cypraeae get melanistic or rostrate
(if not both ) there... In fact, I have one melanistic tigris
claimed to be from New Caledonia, bought from a highly respectable
American dealer.
I also need to reach to a good source on Melanism or Nigerisation
and Rostration.
All your comments and help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Cuneyt
