Help with identifying argus argus from argus contrastriata

[david touitou]

Hi,

I had roughly the same problem when I wanted to identify the <i>argus </i>cowries I found in the Seychelles. Beyond the place where it has been found, as wrote Paul, the basal blotches shall make the difference. But sometimes as you probably know shells may vary and could loose you. With both 2 or 4 blotches and the locality you may be able to confirm <i>contrastriata</i> or not.

Regards,
