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:
Maynard (1921b:141; 1924a: pl. 38, figs. 5, 6) subsequently provided additional descriptive notes and illustrations of this taxon. Clench (1934:214) considered this to be a valid species, but later (1952:109) listed this taxon as a synonym of C. exiguum (Maynard, 1913). Gould and Woodruff (1986:474) synonymized this taxon with Cerion glans (Küster, 1844).
