Pterochelus akation - SUPERB PAIR , (E. H. Vokes, 1993)
Size
37.5 & 33.7 mm, w/o
Locality
Dampier, W.A.
Note
Here is a WONDERFUL OPPOSITE pair of this highly variable species. The larger shell is the classic DEEP ORANGE colour with BLACK HINTS on the edges of its wings. The smaller shell is the much more uncommon WHITE FORM with BLACK STRIPES around the upper spire of the shell. Superb condition for the species with exceptional frills on the wings of both shells and no major damage to be seen. Live taken on muddy reef at extreme low tide. Dampier, W.A. August 2025
