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 was reported from living specimens, which were abundant, and from fossils in the limestone, which were rare. Maynard (1921b:141; 1924a: pl. 38, figs. 3, 4) subsequently provided descriptive notes and illustrations of this taxon. Clench (1952:109) listed this taxon as a valid species, and included S. praedivina Maynard, 1913, S. praedivinauniversa Maynard, 1913, S. multia Maynard, 1913, and S. angustocostata Maynard and Clapp, 1921 to be its synonyms.
