Zoila kostini Northern Leeman Form !!!
63.3 mm     Leeman, WA     132,00 €
Item# 0003663192
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila kostini - Northern Leeman Form !!! , Lorenz & Chiapponi, 2007
Size63.3 mm
LocalityLeeman, WA
NoteWhile relocating the vessel from Busselton to Geraldton we had a good look at the edge of the continental shelf west of the Jurien Bay / Leeman area and there appears to be a fauna change between this area and the Rottnest / Lancelin area. We are seeing different volutes including weaveri and gerondiosi and we have seen no evidence that andreyi extend this far north. In particular the kostini are consistently different to those found between Lancelin and Augusta. The southern population is smaller and quite diverse in colour with sparse fine spots or no dorsal spots at all. The shells found off Leeman are consistently larger and have coarse darker spotted dorsa, less rounded bases and more prominent siphons. As I can see an obvious difference between the populations I have decided to refer to the northern shells as "leemanensis". This name has no taxonomic standing. This lovely young specimen was dead collected from 195 metres of water west of Jurien Bay during March 2024. It's dorsum is half tan spotted half chevron patterned on a clean white background. In near live condition with only minor nacre wear to the labial side of the dorsum. The shell is a little young.
