Zoila ketyana novasuperba
48.1 mm     Cape Cuvier, WA     760,00 €
Item# 0003636772
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila ketyana - novasuperba , (L. Raybaudi, 1978)
Size48.1 mm
LocalityCape Cuvier, WA
NoteOver the past ten years we have spent effort looking for deep water extensions of superba. It is generally thought that the inshore dive accessed population is extinct probably due to a hot water event. No-one has found a specimen since the the mid 1990'ties. At first our search was not fruitful but a couple of years ago we ran into a new population of ketyana in 85 metres of water west south west of Cape Cuvier and north west of Bernier Island. This population is south of the dived shells and a considerable distance offshore. They are sparsely distributed and rare and I am not sure we will revisit the area. If forced to classify them as one of the existing ketyana forms, superba was the best fit. Their basal colour and crenulation is indistinguishable from superba but they are a little smaller and their dorsal spotting is a little finer and more distinct in most specimens. This is a dead collected specimen we found being lugged around by a hermit crab in 86 metres of water west south west of Cape Cuvier during May 2024. It has some nacre loss but has intact siphon. If was live taken gem I would price it north of 5,000 euro. Fine+
