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.

ANSP 73483 – The original lot contained 5 specimens. Pilsbry & Vanatta (1899:477) illustrated and provided measurements for only one specimen. The specimen figured in the original description and in Pilsbry, 1902: pl. 29, fig. 52 had been sequestered under the number 73483a, in the manner used by Baker (1963), but is not listed in his publication. This specimen is here designated as the lectotype and retains the catalog number ANSSP 73483. The remaining four specimens, which are not mentioned in the original description, are paralectotypes and have been recatalogued as ANSP 411920.
