Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E. Strong in Malacologia, 2017, 61(1–2): 1–526.) (can be dowloaded at Researchgate.net), substituting the previous classification of 2005 Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). If you need help with any aspect of an article, please leave a note at the Project talk page.

Just started this stub, and uploaded a pic from my collection. Hopefully, it will display correctly. I'll add more info as time allows.LiveOnAPlane (talk) 20:57, 29 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
This cowry is not found in the Indian Ocean. I have clarified the range somewhat. It is not found in the northern or eastern Pacific. The Philippine Islands are approximately its western limit and the Tuamotus its eastern limit in the south-central Pacific (Burgess, 1985). If there are citable references for live-collected specimens in the Indian Ocean, please include them when this information is reverted.
