How does one distinguish between Persicula tessellata and P. accola?
Are both valid, full species?
The Marginella book shows accola as a form of the variable tessellata
but doesn't describe its distinguishing features. Most listings on the
WWW show accola as a full species. Some WWW pictures of "accola" look
essentially identical to others labeled "tessellata."
If any Cystiscidae experts can clarify this mess, I would greatly
appreciate it.
