Item# 0003350869
FamilyCypraeidae
NameZoila friendii kostini northern form , Lorenz & Chiapponi, 2007
Size71.4 mm
LocalityDongara, WA
NoteOver the past ten years I have had a desire to collect friendii on the continental shelf west of Geraldton to study the inter-grade between aurata and kostini. Until our last trip we had only found one live specimen in 200 metres of water east of the Abrolhos Islands. The reason for the difficulty in doing this has been exceptionally strong currents in the area and our inability to find sponge beds. In February 2023 we had some success finding a number of specimens, west south west of Dongara and to the southwest of Geraldton. The shells we found were different to both kostini and aurata. They were consistently larger than southern kostini, more colorful with coarse spotting not unlike aurata, and less rounded with mostly china white base. They are quite vercoi like. Perhaps 70% kostini and 30% aurata is an apt description but I have decided to refer to them as "Northern Kostini". This specimen is a crabbed shell we found in 205 metres of water west south west of Dongara in February 2023. Dead collected shell with significant nacre loss.
