Scott,
Ed and I haven't gotten to the annulata/amethystina complex yet.
Both sides have some valid arguments.
We are trying to get some genetic material for DNA studies.
That will most likely be the only way to settle this.
Best wishes,
Dennis

Subject: [CONCH-L] O. annulata taxonomy
What is the general consensus on the taxonomy of O. annulata, and whose
works are being followed
most often now. Tursch, et. al. breaks it up into 3 distinct species, O.
amethystina, O. mantichora,
and O. maculata. Sterba appears to follow suit stating "clearly separable
species within the species
complex of well known O. annulata, Gmelin, 1811). Hunan, et. al. goes
backwards and lumps them
all back together.
I was wondering what all you feel is the best way to classify this complex
with the recent release of
Hunan, et. al.
