I am updating the database of my Ranellidae collection, using WORMS to
check the taxonomy. I found WORMS now calls Argobuccinum (Priene) rude
a synonym of Priene scabrum. As my specimens of rude and scabrum do
appear to be 2 distinct species, I am asking for opinions as to the
validity of calling them synonyms. Are there any other changes in WORMS
from the classification used by Henning & Hemmen in "Ranellidae &
Personidae of the World" that other Ranellidae collectors would consider
questionable?
