| Family | Cypraeidae |
| Name | Zoila friendii - Hybrid with Kostini !! , Gray, 1831 |
| Size | 72.4 mm |
| Locality | Margaret River, WA |
| Note | The shell has collected off Margaret River in 125 metres in what I now refer to as the hybrid zone. We find that around 90 to 135 metres of water on the west coast friendii show huge variation in color and shape. This coincides with the lower ice age shore lines and I believe this population is genetically diverse due to repeated merging and diverging of gene pools with successive ice ages and sea level change. In deeper water the shells are much more consist in shape and color and we consider them to be typical kostini. I consider this shell a hybrid between friendii and kostini. Being over 70mm it is large for kostini and more like marina in shape. Its aperture is narrow with full teeth development like jeaniana. I consider the shell is adult though it is a little light. It has a lovely pepper spotted dorsum and a china white base. |
