Liguus fasciatus graphicus
form crassus
Simpson, 1920
Collected on Howe Key, Fl.
This is one of two shells collected on Howe Key, in the "big" hammock, just west
of Big Pine Key. Both shells were collected a few days prior to the arrival of
hurricane Donna. Simpson described the type from one shell collected in
Watson's hammock on Big Pine Key. Pilsbry describes the bronzy peripheral line,
in Simpson's description, as "apparently a green cuticular line and not corresponding
to the peripheral line typical of graphicus." It is doubtful that Pilsbry examined the
Simpson holotype. Because of the scarcity of specimens there is doubt whether it is
an established form or albinistic individuals of graphicus. The original holotype from
the Simpson collection has been lost.
The form crassus remains the rarest shell in Liguus collections.

Liguus fasciatus graphicus
variety dohertyi
Pflueger, 1934
Collected on Lower Matecumbe Key, FL.

as a result of total destruction of the hammock
and the colony by the very severe hurricane of 1935.
