STROMBUS - Carlos Galan - 07-07-2011 Hello, this two Strombus are similar to Strombus urceus, are this specie? are diferent species? THANKS. Re: STROMBUS - paul monfils - 07-07-2011 The upper one is one of the many color forms of Strombus (Canarium) urceus.  The lower one is Strombus (Canarium) labiatus. Re: STROMBUS - Carlos Galan - 07-07-2011 Thank you for determination. I have a question, the gene phylogenies performed with nuclear histone and mitoconcrial cytochrome oxidase show that within the genus Strombus are two large groups, and one of them is more similar to the genus Lambis. Is it possible that a part of the genus Strombus  has been renamed Canarium? I leave a picture.
