Dear all, I have a debate that needs to be settled. What is the current taxonomic status of Conus abbotti Clench, 1946? Is it still accepted as a valid species? Ed Petuch told me that all the Conus described by Clench, excepting Conus floridanus burryae, are invalid. He said that Conus abbotti is just a synonym of Conus jacundus. I am totally confused; can anyone help me and tell me what is correct? Thanks, James
