What is the star system?
The star system calculates the number of pieces that were handled by Conchology, Inc. in the last 21 years:
| 0 – 5 pieces | 6 stars |
|
| 6 – 10 pieces | 5 stars |
|
| 11 - 25 pieces | 4 stars | |
| 26 - 75 pieces | 3 stars | |
| 76 - 150 pieces | 2 stars | |
| > 150 pieces | 1 star | |
We want to point out that the star system is only very reliable for PHILIPPINE shells only, as we handle very few foreign shells in general. As time goes, the system will become more and more performant.

In an old cemetery near Eastern Parade, [Nassau, New Providence Island, Bahamas].
This taxon was described as new, appearing as "S. nivia new", while the preceding taxon, S. varia-nivia was incorrectly listed as being previously described, appearing as "S. varia-nivia Mayn." This is almost certainly an error in typesetting. Strophiops nivia Maynard, 1913 is a junior homonym of Strophia curtissii nivia Maynard, 1894.
The holotype of Strophia curtissii nivia Maynard, 1894 (MCZ 10279) was designated as the lectotype of Strophiops nivia Maynard, 1913 by Harasewych et al., 2007, making Strophiops nivia Maynard, 1913 both a junior homonym and an objective junior synonym of Strophia curtissii nivia Maynard, 1894.
