Note
I FOUND THIS SUBSPECIES IN A VERY SMALL SPOT IN THE BAR AL HIKMAN PENINSULA ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO. I HAVE BEEN THREE TIMES THERE BUT THE LAST ONE I DID NOT FIND ANY LIVING SPECIMENS ! THIS IS A FRESH DEAD SHELL BUT FULLY ADULT WITH A VERY THICK LABRUM !! UNTIL NOW I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS SUBSPECIES OFFERED BY ANY OTHER DEALER AND I THINK IT WILL REMAIN VERY RARE ! F++/F+++
