Babelomurex helenae RARE; EXT. DEEP-WATER
38.3 mm     South Africa     47,00 €
Item# 0004036297
FamilyCoralliophilidae
NameBabelomurex helenae - RARE; EXT. DEEP-WATER , (Azuma, 1973)
Size38.3 mm
LocalitySouth Africa
NoteA superb, large, LIVE-COLLECTED specimen of this RARE, extreme deep-water, endemic South African species, collected over half a century ago, during the ‘old days’ of extreme deep-water South African trawling. RARE QUALITY for this typically very rough species. Balanced proportions. Not freshly collected for decades, and now obtainable only from choice old collections. For the Muricidae / Coralliophilidae specialist whose collection yet lacks this elusive, now extremely difficult to obtain species. HISTORICAL NOTE: The specimen was one of the earliest found. I acquired two specimens from the famous Helene Boswell collection, of Transvaal, although the original Boswell label was sold with the previous specimen. Data: Off Durban, Natal, KwaZulu, South Africa; upon sand/rubble substrate; 400-500 m; trawled; 1974. Size: 38.3 mm. Grading: Fine+++. Provenance: JES Collection; London / Melbourne.
