Cerion - rafa - 01-23-2009 Dera friends, I colleted this two land snails near Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. I think both are genus Cerion, but it seems to be two diferents species. Could you help me to ID please? Thanks in advance.

There are hundreds of described names of Cerion, all from the Caribbean area.  Some experts say there are over a hundred species.  Others claim that they are all just geographic forms of a dozen or so species.  I could list a number of species that these are NOT, but that would still leave many possibilities for what they actually are.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2009-01-23 22:35:36 --</span>
