FamilyCypraeidae
NameAustrocypraea reevei bishopi , Petuch & Berschauer, 2017)
Size32.2 mm
LocalityCeduna, G.A.Bight, S. Australia.
NoteOn offer is this DEEPWATER specimen of this ultra rare subspecies of Austrocypraea reevei bishopi. These are very limited in number and remain within a few South Australian collections. Originally described in "The Festivus, Vol.49, by Petuch & Berschauer in 2017. Rarely available only from the few South Australian collectors when released. Graded GEM- purely on speculation that some collectors may consider the colour line on the columellar base edge an extremely soft natural growth step and not just a natural colour line. Can not be felt, so what ever way, it still is a truly beautiful, high quality specimen. It also exhibits an amazing fine dorsal maleation. Also there is a very unique dorsal feature, of a soft grey colour band of spotting across the anterior ramp. These natural soft grey spots are inside each facet made by the maleated dorsum. Truly a very unique natural feature. For a discussion of this subspecies, my good friend Jason Sprague (JES) has published an article in Beautiful Cowries Magazine (No.9; October 2018; p.79). Trawled in 160M, off Ceduna, Great Australian Bight, South Australia. The trawlers are working low, flat sand/shale substrate with low lying sponges. A specimen that would complement any serious collection. IMAGES OF THE SPECIMENS SIDE PROFILES ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST. ALL WHITE REFLECTIONS AND DULL AREAS ARE FROM THE CAMERA LIGHTING.
