F+++. Small defect (sand inclusion) on base as visible, otherwise perfect.
This is the real aliceae, formerly known as 'kurohawaii' and believed to be an hybrid between sulcidentata and schilderorum. This shell is the paratype 19 of the original description, published on Beautifulcowries Magazine. I attach a picture with base comparisons between aliceae (in the middle) and schilderorum (on the left) and sulcidentata (on the right) so you can see the evident differences. From my personal collection.
