Pustularia cicercula var. takahashii, Moretzsohn 2007

Cette Cypraea cicercula var. takahashii vient de Hawaï, pêchées mortes, sans autre informations. C' est pour cette raison que je l' ai taxonée var. takahashii. Il est assez difficile de différencier les Cypraea cicercula des îles polynésiennes des Cypraea margarita de l' Indo-Pacifique (elles sont aussi lisses) si ce n' est le point noir sur l' apex. Mais récemment renommée Pustularia margarita var. tuamotensis (Lorenz & Huber, 1993). Taille: 15 mm.

It is quite difficult to differentiate Cypraea cicercula of Polynesian islands to Cypraea margarita from the Indo-Pacific (they are also smooth) except the black dot on the apex. But recently renamed Pustularia margarita var. tuamotensis (Lorenz & Huber, 1993). Size: 15 mm.
