Hi Marien,

Interesting! I'm not qualified to comment on the distinctions between Iniforis turristhomae and I. pseudothomae, especially since I haven't even seen the animals.

I can say that both taxa were present at Tobacco Caye in Belize and didn't notice fine intergrades. The brown spiral line is either solid (turristhomae) or broken (pseudothomae? ) with (more or less prominent) white spiral beading replacing the brown line at irregular intervals. But you've seen a lot more of these.

By the way, blame me on the subject of I. pseudothomae, not Marlo.
