Have a shell labeled Chicoreus tenuivaricosus carioca (Vokes, 1968)
Ponder & Vokes, Recent Murex & Hauatellum, 1988, does not list it.
Both of Houart's, Chicoreus & Muricidae does not list it either.
Radwin & D'Attilio does list it under Siratus tenuivaricosus (Dautzenberg,
1927) but it reads Chicoreus carioca E. H. Vokes, 1968: 39, new name for M.
calcar Kiener, 1842 (not Sowerby, 1823)
From this I take it that it would be correct as Chicoreus (Siratus) carioca
E. H. Vokes, 1968 and not Chicoreus (Siratus) Tenuivaricosus (Dautzenberg,
1927) ?
If so, is it considered a subspecies or form and then can I go by M.calcar
Kiener, 1842 for more information?
Thanks ahead,
Harry
