Hi to all Conch-Lers,
A question to our Olividae specialists:
I just received a shell identified as Oliva lignaria Marrat, 1868.
It doesn't have the typical pattern of the pure lignaria, showing an almost
pure light yellow color, being somewhere between the orange form cryptospira
Ford, 1891 and the white form albescens Johnson, 1914.
The question is how do I identify that shell?
Many thanks in advance.
