Jose et al This is interesting as I note that your readout shows at least 4 records from the Gulf Coast of Florida (St Petersburg, Goodland, Sanibel)...some going back some 60-70 years)...I recently saw a pair of Strombus pugilis from another similarly old collection date (1948) for sale online with a stated locality of "Marco Island" and I wondered if that data could be legitimate....have there indeed been well-documnted finds of pugilis in that area?
