Hi All Just wanted to Thank everybody for all this great help I rec'd....
Mr. Paul if ok I will email you directly ..
But before I go I have a question that has confused me for a long time.. Being an amateur I don't understand why a shell that has papers and a holotype and paratypes is not accept in Worms or other databases ?
Best Regards
Greg

Follow-up -- for what it is worth, since Pilsbry was a co-author of this new species, I suspect that the ANSP should at least have the radula slide!

Here's the original description -- it was a subspecies:
