[Nhcoll-l] Philippine locality

[Rios, Nelson]

Hi Paul,


I asked chat gpt and got:

Curita is a small coastal barangay (village) located in the municipality of Magsaysay in the province of Occidental Mindoro on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is situated on the western side of the island, along the Mindoro Strait. Occidental Mindoro is part of the MIMAROPA region, which stands for Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, and Palawan.

Random Friday-afternoon question: we have the locality “Curita, Luzon” on some land snail labels – anyone have any idea where that might be? It does not come up on the web, at least not that I can find.
