From editor or global species database
Taxonomic remark Meyer (2004) recognized ketyana as a subspecies of Zoila marginata, but in his Cowrie Genomic Database (CGT) (http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/cowries/taxon_list.htm), which was last updated in 2005, ketyana is listed as a species. There is likely an error on the table at CGD because ketyana is listed as not being recognized as an Evolutionarily Significant Unit ESU), but ketyana ketyana is recognized as an ESU. [details]
