Cymbiolena magnifica SPECIAL COLOUR STH. QLD.
230 mm     Australia     47,00 €
Item# 0004120099
FamilyVolutidae
NameCymbiolena magnifica - SPECIAL COLOUR STH. QLD. , (Gebauer, 1802)
Size230 mm
LocalityAustralia
NoteAn outstanding specimen of the DEEP-WATER SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND form, exhibiting atypically rich colour, in conjunction with a dense and intricate pattern of the the highest aesthetic merit. RARE LOCALITY: the majority of known specimens of this intermediate form are from northern New South Wales localities, particularly Tweed Heads. Few were obtained from the current locality. Not freshly collected for decades, and now obtainable only from choice old collections. FORM NOTE: At the southern end of the species range, shells are solid, broad, and strongly noded at the periphery. As the species progresses northwards, its shell becomes finer, more elongate, and the peripheral nodes less prominent. This phenomenon culminates in C. m. altispira in northern Queensland – a very distinct form. It may therefore be simplest to consider the species as having three distinct geographical forms, each of which remains subject to individual variation: 1) a solid, broad southern form; 2) an intermediate between 1 and 3; 3) a northern form, assigned the name C. m. altispira. NOTE: This large shell requires a large parcel for adequate protection, but I will round down postage to anywhere in the world to 35 EUR. Please factor this when bidding. Data: Off Southport, City of Goldcoast, Queensland, Australia; upon sand substrate; 100-160 m; trawled; 1984. Size: c.230 mm. Grading: Fine++++. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne.
