Umbilia armeniaca clarksoni A Super Rarity !!!
88.0 mm     Esperance, WA     710,00 €
Item# 0003609087
FamilyCypraeidae
NameUmbilia armeniaca clarksoni - A Super Rarity !!! , Lorenz & Beals, 2013
Size88.0 mm
LocalityEsperance, WA
NoteOver the past five years we have relocated our ROV operation to Esperance and worked in the area between Hopetoun and Israelite Bay on a number of occasions. One of the reasons for this is that we wished to find clarksoni. Despite considerable effort we have not been able to relocate the prestigious subspecies in the area from which the type specimens were collected. We did find four live armeniaca in deep water off Esperance that were very like clarksoni in colour and were a close fit to clarksoni in mR (%) but we felt they were a little different in shape and elected to refer to them as "verawestralis" to distinguish them from the dived shells. This shell is a crabbed shell taken from 68 meters of water and further south and east of the location the dive shells taken by Peter Clarksoni and other from "The Patch" off Cape Le Grand in Esperance Bay. It was found south of Cape Arid. The shell has a couple of small perforations in it's posterior columnar selvage which do not extend through the shell. The shell has nacre loss but presents well for a dead collected specimen. While this shell is not from the type location, it fits well as a clarksoni and is very different to andreyi from the west coast and type armeniaca from the Great Australian Bight. Super Rare and a MUST for the Umbilia collector!
