Item# 0002151950
FamilyCypraeidae
NameCypraea lisetae - OUTSTANDING , Kilburn, 1975
Size15.9 mm
LocalitySouth Africa
NoteA famous, superb specimen of the REAL SOUTH AFRICAN lisetae, from the 'old days' of collecting, with outstanding provenance from at least five famous collections. Characteristic broad dorsal spiral band, marginal maculae, and prominent ridge connecting dentition. The specimen was in the Raybaudi collection in the 1980s, (most probably acquired from the Boswell or Liltved collections), and was at the time, (and remains), one of the BEST South African specimens ever found. It is almost certainly one of the specimens illustrated in Liltved, (possibly second from right, or far left, in top row), although it is very difficult to be absolutely certain, given the similarity of the specimens and the nature of the photograph, (see above right image). Brooks purchased many of the rare cowries from the Raybaudi collection, and Hiscock purchased the renowned Brooks collection of Cypraeidae. The original Brooks/Raybaudi(?) and Hiscock labels accompany the specimen, (and the JES label may be printed directly from shellauction, as usual). Definitely for the advanced Cypraeidae, or South African specialist. Size: 15.9 (length). Grading: Gem. Data: Off northern coast of Natal, South Africa; upon mud/sand/rubble substrate; c.30-50 m; trawled; c.1982. Provenance: 1. Liltved or Boswell collections, Natal (Probable); 2. Luigi Raybaudi private collection, Rome; 3. Michael Brooks private collection, London; 4. Martin Hiscock private collection, Melbourne; 5. JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
