FamilyMuricidae
NamePterynotus webbi - WORLD-FIRST OFFERING , Petuch & Berschauer, 2018
Size46.3 mm, w/o
LocalityAustralia
NoteThis is the first international offering of this ultra-rare, very recently described species, so far known from only around a dozen specimens, held within just a few Australian museums and private collections. Only described last year, (The Festivus; Vol.50, No.2; pp.91-92), the species lies within the triformis complex, superficially resembling duffusi, (which does not occur in South Australia), and from which it may be separated by its far larger size, and distinctive, unvarying colour scheme of a pure white ground, with nebulous pale straw accents. Always a rugged shell, living upon a rubble bottom, this is one of the largest and BEST specimens yet found, of superior quality to the holotype, (which may be viewed on-line at gastropods.com). Glassy, mammillate protoconch intact. Superb, balanced proportions. The specimen is named in honour of the skipper of the vessel which collected the only known specimens. A unique opportunity for an advanced Muricidae specialist to acquire a species lacking in virtually every collection in the world. Size: 46.3 mm (length). Grading: Fine+++; w/o. Data: Great Australian Bight, off Yalata, South Australia, Australia; upon sand/sponge/rubble substrate; trawled; 142 m; November 13 1996. Provenance: JES private collection; Melbourne/London.
