You may recall that I appealed to all Conch-L subscribers for assistance in
assembling a referance collection of the subfamily Muricinae.  I was very 
pleased and grateful for the response, not only for specimens, but for
information on the classification of this list.  As a result of the
information which I received, I now find that there are 33 genus/subgenus 
on this list, of which I have managed to acquire representative specimens  
for 27.  I still need the following:-
Murex (Promurex) antelmei  -  I realise that it is very rare, a photograph
would be useful.
Pterynotus (Ponderia)  -  calendonicus would seem to be my best option.
Poiriera Panamurex - I do have a fossil form, but I would also like a
living variety, perhaps velero.
Poiriera (Pazinotus)  -  there are 11 varieties in total all quite rare any
offers would be appreciated.
Dermomurex (Viator)  - pasi would seem to be the most common.
If anyone can help me to source any of these specimens I would be most
grateful.  Cash or trade - preferably trade, any assistance would be
appreciated.
