| Item | # 0004190638 | | Family | LANDSNAILS | | Name | Pleuroxia oligopleura - ENDEMIC CENTRAL AUST. , (Tate, 1894) |
| Size | 16.2 mm |
| Locality | Australia |
| Note | An EXCEPTIONAL large specimen of this EXQUISITE, ENDEMIC CENTRAL AUSTRALIAN species. In the dry regions of Western Australia, this singular species aestivates, and is difficult to locate. Very few dedicated land shell collectors have ever ventured to the isolated ‘outback’ locality of this elusive species, and no one appears to have undertaken this arduous task since the 1970s. Now obtainable only from choice old collections, and seldom at this level of size, quality, and beauty. Wuth the texture and appearance of a miniature fossil ammonite, this species is undoubtedly lacking even in many advanced terrestrial collections. A diminutive jewel for the advanced landsnail specialist. Data: Roe Plains, East of Mundrabilla, Goldfields-Outback Region, Western Australia, Australia; upon red clay/soil substrate, upon gully escarpment; 1977. Size: 16.2 mm. Grading: Gem. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne. |
