Austrocypraea reevei microsphaerica Rarely Offered !!!
29.4 mm     Leeman, WA     5,00 €
Item# 0004073942
FamilyCypraeidae
NameAustrocypraea reevei microsphaerica - Rarely Offered !!! , Raybauldi, 1980
Size29.4 mm
LocalityLeeman, WA
NoteFound in March 2024 west of Leeman in Western Australia. A very round reevei form found on our Midwest Coast. This is one of a very few specimens we have collected over the past 15 years. The shell was dead collected from silty sand in 195 metres of water. Reevei are found by divers off Rottnest that are occasionally presented as microsphaerica. While they are very impressive shells being large, inflated and heavily malleated specimens highly valued by collectors, they are not microsphaerica. Microsphaerica is a name applied by Raybaudi in 1980 to small very rotund and weakly malleated specimens collected off our Mid West Coast. The shell has some nacre abrasion and three pin holes to the dorsum and one octopus drill hole to the base. Perhaps a young inexperienced octopus had to drill a number of holes before getting one in the right location.
