This is a request for help.

What characteristics distinguish Costoanachis sparsa from avara?  Does sparsa have axial ribs on all
whorls (unlike avara)?

Are there Florida collectors who have collected sparsa and have a few specimens to spare?  Or, will
you share data with us on Conch-L as to its  habitat.

Are there any Conch-Lers in the Sanibel/Captiva area that have collected the "Costoanachis aff
sparsa" pictured by Gundersen on page 11?  Have you compared it to ordinary sparsa and is there a
difference?  Any of you have a few to spare?
