The shell on offer here was sold to me as inopinata, many years ago before the revision was made. Interior gloss very fine, dull exterior is a feature of the species. Size is typical, condition essentially gem despite its "not-so-pretty" appearance. A shell for the specialist. Holotype trawled off Hixson Cay, Swain Reefs, Queensland at a depth of 180-200 m. The authors remark: "N. bulbosa is a very rare species, seldom live-taken
along its restricted range. In literature as well as in private collections, shells are isidentified as "inopinata smooth form." |
