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.
Strophiops genitiva Maynard and Clapp in Maynard, 1920d:124 [genitiva in text] Plate 22, figs. 3, 4. [genetiva on plate]
Strophiops genitiva Harasewych et al., 2007:481, fig. 171
[24° 2' N, -76° 29' W]
The binomen S. genitiva first appeared as a nomen nudum (Maynard, 1919b [November 6]:32, 35). The taxon name was spelled genitiva in the original description and genetiva on the plate caption, which was published together with the text. The taxon is listed as genetiva in Maynard's (1924?:[7]) sales catalog, the only other publication by Maynard in which it appears. The spelling genetiva is an "incorrect original spelling" [Article 32.5.1, ICZN, 1999:39] and thus has no separate availability [Article 32.4, ICZN, 1999:39]. Clench (1957:146) listed this species as genitiva.
