Wilson & McComb (1967) utilized subgeneric names within Cypraea. Kay (1960a: 283) stated that 'the species of Cypraea thus far examined are characterized by an extremely conservative anatomical picture'. However, she described considerable variability in the radula and female reproductive morphology, which had not previously been recorded. Recognition of these features resulted in species groups that differed from previous systems, which were based largely on conchological features. As the morphology of about only one-third of the described species was known, Kay (1960a) stated that it was better to include all members of the Cypraeidae in the single genus Cypraea until more comparative data became available. This was a dramatic departure from previous classifications (Schilder 1936; Steadman & Cotton 1946; Allan 1956), which subdivided the family into 24-61 genera. Subsequently, Cernohorsky (1965) incorporated many of the specific changes suggested by Kay (1960a), but divided the family into 28 Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
