of the Liguus' range in South Florida.

Liguus fasciatus castaneozonatus
Pilsbry, 1912
Collected in Brickell Hammock, Miami, FL.
Brickell Hammock shells exhibit, in band, color patterns of
other shells existing sympatrically in the hammock,
such as the flammules of castaneus and testudineus,
these "patterns within the band" are typical in other
mixed castaneozonatus colonies.

Liguus fasciatus castaneozonatus
Pilsbry, 1912
Collected on Key Largo, FL.
These are shells from a colony on Key Largo that exhibit,
as a consistent pattern, narrow color bands of 2 to 3 mm width.
This narrow banding is also consistent on all of the roseatus
(yellow banded shell) found sympatrically within the same colony.

Liguus fasciatus castaneozonatus
variety walkeri
Clench, 1933
Collected in Hammock No. 9, Pinecrest, FL.
The variety walkeri is found in hammock No. 9 of the Pinecrest area
of the Everglades. It is unique to this hammock even though
the "walkeri" pattern  (decadent banding of the last whorls) is found in
other colonies of castaneozonatus. Both of the illustrated shells were
collected in hammock No. 9, as can be seen not all of the walkeri show a
decadence of band color in the geriontic stages of growth.

Liguus fasciatus castaneozonatus
variety miamiensis
Simpson, 1920
Collected at Brickell Hammock, Miami, FL.
This variety occurs in Miami's Brickell Hammock.
The "miamiensis" pattern is also found among other colonies
of castaneozonatus, however the miamiensis is unique in the
coloring of the band, which is present only in the first few whorls,
and having a profuse area of green lines on the last
and penultimate whorls.

Simpson, 1920
Collected at Atoll Hammock, Southern Everglades, FL.

in the southern end of the Everglades National Park.
It has the typical castaneozonatus markings only
on the very first few whorls.

Clench, 1935
Collected in Hammock No. 55, Southern Everglades, FL.
This variety is characterized by the loss of all pink pigmentation.
Found in Brickell Hammock and hammock No. 55 in
the Everglades National Park. The apical area and columellar
area are devoid of the typical intense pink of the castaneozonatus.
