Hi Steven,
there is a great difference between the two species.
In the spots, in the shape, capurserpentis often is
also more flat. we do have both species in the museums
collection and so I can take images with my digital
camera to send you them. I will take to upper part and
the base. I hope this would help. Cypraea
caputserpentis is mostly in Indopazifik and
Philippines.
with best shelling greetings

wondering if someone could tell me the differences
between Cypraea caputserpentis and C. caputdraconis,
other then that the latter is endemic to Easter
Island. From the pics I've seen, they look
virtually the same, how do I tell if the one I saw in
the shell shop is really caputdraconis?</DIV>
