Naria ocellata smallpox
17.3 x 14.4 mm     Maldives     102,00 €
Item# 0003932742
FamilyCypraeidae
NameNaria ocellata - smallpox
Size17.3 x 14.4 mm
LocalityMaldives
NoteBeautiful specimen of the ocellata diseased form, also called 'Quasimodo' by some. Shells for this form are usually pretty ugly; this particular specimen is the most attractive I have seen. Distribution of the dorsal humps is resonably symmetrical, round shape pronounced, dorsal gloss as good as I have seen in this form. The base is dull, I suspect as a consquence of the combination of disease and hard handling. I found this shell in a basket of ocellata offered to turists in Malè during my first-ever diving trip in tropical seas, back in 1979. Although the shop owner maintained that the ocellata he was selling were local, I cannot be sure of the Maldivian origin since the shop was also offering shells most likely collected in Sri Lanka. More images available.
