Franck,

Do you have a list of errata for the Poppe work?

> Hello Dennis,
> According to me Guido Poppe's "A Conchological Iconography, Family
> Harpidae" is not the best publication on Harpidae even if it is a current
> one, as it is pure and simple iconography without a single diagnosis and
> also contains name errors and misidentifications.
> I think that the best  comprehensive work on Harpa is "The family Harpidae
> of the World", Indo-Pacific Mollusca, Volume 3, No. 16, by Harold A.
> Rehder even if it dates back to 1973.

>> The best current publication on this subject is Guido Poppe's "A

>> I will be looking forward to your call.
