Also in Tom Rice catalogue Chicoreus flavicundus (Perry, 1811) is listed,
but as belonging to
brunneus. But there is not clear if it is a synonym or a subspecies. The
following countries are
named: India, Mozambique, Thailand, W-Australia and the value is listed
between $ 7.50 from
about 60 mm to $ 10.-- up to 85 mm.
I hope this helps you and a Happy New Year
