Hello Martin,

I am currently working on this project. The significant differences are
structural. Color and pattern seem to be influenced by the environment.
You may call me on my cell phone at 352-516-7821 or respond to my private
email at [log in to unmask]  I am located in Florida at Eastern Standard
Time.
The amount of material that I would have to write will exceed the
limitations of Conchlist. My first response was rejected for that reason.

The best current publication on this subject is Guido Poppe’s “A
Conchological Iconography, Family Harpidae”. It is available from Conchbooks
or from several book and shell dealers in the US (Donald Dan and MDM Bob
Janowsky).

I will be looking forward to your call.

Best wishes,

Dennis Sargent

Subject: [CONCH-L] Those Beautiful Harps

I wonder if any of the Harp enthusiasts could shed any light on the
differentiations between Harpa davidus, H. articularis, H. cabriti and H.
major.

If they are shaken up in a bag, for the life of me, I can not see much
difference, especially when you consider normal variations if pattern and
color.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

This forum is a magnificent place. I too will miss the valuable opinions and
postings of Andrew Grebneff. He replied to many of my questions over the
years.

Martin
