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:
Clench's (1957:152) attribution of Pupa manica to Lamarck, 1830 is an incorrect attribution of the name. The page containing the cited usage appeared in 1832 and is attributable to Deshayes (Evenhuis & Petit, 2003). This species was described as Bulimus mumia by Bruguière, in 1792. Lamarck (1819:105) transferred the species to Pupa, listed it as Pupa mumia, and gave the correct Bruguière citation. Deshayes (1832:401) provided a list of species of Pupa that were described by Bruguière (1792) as Bulimus. The first item in the list is: "Bulimus manica, no. 87. Pupa manica Lamk." Since Bulimus mumia Bruguière is no. 87 in Bruguière, 1792, manica is an incorrect subsequent spelling [Article 33.3, ICZN, 1999:42-43] by Deshayes. As such, Pupa manica Deshayes, 1832 is not an available name.
