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 travellii Harasewych et al., 2007:495-496, fig. 198
[25° 34' N, -77° 45' W]
The remaining 3,416 syntypes [including MCZ118198; USNM 419946] become paralectotypes.
The taxon name appeared as S. travelii in the heading of the original description and S. travellii in the figure caption. This taxon was listed as S. travellii in the sales catalog (Maynard, undated, 1924?:[3]). The spelling travelii is considered an "incorrect original spelling" [Article 32.5.1, ICZN, 1999:39] and thus has no separate availability [Article 32.4, ICZN, 1999:39]. Clench (1957:165) listed this taxon as S. travelii in his catalog.
