Re: separate species vs synonym
Hi there, I have done a bit of searching for you and I can say that B. contrarium and perversum ARE two different species. B. contrarium is the common Lightning Whelk everyone knows and perversum is different, see here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.gastropods.com/9/Shell_349.shtml">http://www.gastropods.com/9/Shell_349.shtml</a><!-- m -->
Incidentally this is an excellent website for Gastropod identification.
Cheers,
Dave
