Dear Listers,

When I heard David's question, I went to <https://conchologistsofamerica.org/american-conchologist-library/>, where I concluded that the paper that would have served David (as correctly recalled by Steve) was not yet "in the system." It missed by one issue!

All COA members should have received:
a little over a year ago.

Carole's paper should be both indexed (by author as well as by taxa) and posted on the Conch-L website before too long. Thus questions like David's should be easier to answer in the future - and may not need to be asked.

I recall about a year or so ago there was an article about this on the
last pages of an issue of American Conchologist, I think it was by
Carole Marshall ....I'm sure somebody will have the exact details
close(r) at hand....it included a number of helpful photos.

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.
