Dear listers,

A longtime question for me: are there reliable distinguishing features between Macrocypraea cervus and zebra besides the dotted spots on the dorsum (and size)?

I’ve only managed to collect dead specimens with some weathering on their backs, possibly obscuring those dotted spots.

One is 59mm, probably zebra from Brazil.

Another is 91mm from Bahamas. A third is 93mm from Mona Island, Puerto Rico.
