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.

Remarks:
This taxon appears twice in the same publication, once on page 130, pl. 28, figs. 1, 2, then again on page 136, pl. 34, fig. 1, 2 [the second illustration appeared in the following issue, dated July 15, 1921 ]. The descriptions differ (size, number of costae) but have the same type locality and list the same number of specimens examined. The figures are similar, but do not represent the same specimen. The taxon originates from the first description (p. 130, pl. 28, figs. 1, 2). The second appearance of this taxon in the same issue is likely a lapsus calami on the part of Maynard. It is listed twice in the sales catalog (Maynard, 1924?:[3] nos. 63 [as coufusa], 94, both from Little Harbor).
