Grade , Locality:

F++/F+++ , Mozambique

SP. NEW! HARD TO GET!

Thin lip but with protoconh, that is rare in this species! This very hard to get species, in any condition, has been historically confused in collections with Myurell kilburni (Burch, R.D., 1965) because of their obvious colour and sculptural similarities (Y. Terrin at al, 2023). For further information see the recent paper of Y. Terrin et al (2023), page 177. In NOVAPEX 24(4): 159–185, 10 décembre 2023. Nacala Bay area, North of Mozambique; dive 5-8 mts. 2010
