Bill Rudman writes: "Marioniopsis sp. A is the one I have previously called
Tritoniid sp. 3. I think Odhner would have put it in a genus Marionopsis
rather than Marionia but the first task is to sort out the species names of
these tropical tritoniids." Marioniopsis sp. A differs from
Marioniopsis sp. B by not having ae white
band in the centre of the mantle.
Marioniopsis sp. C could be a colour variant of
Marioniopsis sp. A, but this has clear dark blue ornaments,
in Marioniopsis sp. C this is indistinct. There are many tritoniids with a
similar colour pattern, even the bright blue spots are not distinctive -
or there is one species with many colour variants.
