Hi, Conch-Lers!
Now that I have been bitten by the land snail bug, I am bringing out shells that I have had for a while but not done much with .
(Pardon the bad sentence construction .
I have two little snails labelled "Megalacron klaawateri," no author and date, from Manus Island, Papua, New Guinea.
Some questions: Does Megalacron hold specific status or is it a subgenus of Papuina? Is klaawateri a valid species or a synonym? And lastly, what are the author and date for this
species.
I was able to pick up Tucker's Compendium for half price a few
miles from my house. It was new, just a few miniscule priniting flaws. What other books would be recommended for
foreign land snails?
And I said I'd never collect land!! The joke's on me.
Cheers,
Linda
