Can anyone help with the white form of peristernia "incarnata"?

 From someone who is revising Buccinidae: Fasciolariinae...

>The species was renamed Peristernia reincarnata by Martin Avery Snyder,
>2000, Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, no.
>150:173-179. In that paper, Snyder clarified a few dates and authorships and
>introduced new names for several earlier homonyms. This is the paper in
>which he introduced Dolicholatirus smithi to replace Latirus angustus E. A.
>Smith, 1884, non Murex [= Dolicholatirus] angustus Gmelin, 1791, a species
>that we've discussed previously. He also replaced Fusinus pulchellus
>(Philippi) but I believe that particular action to be without justification
>and contrary to ICZN rules.

>I'm very familiar with the white morph of Peristernia reincarnata from
>northwestern Australia. There are quite a few of them on the market and I
>have several in my collection. I wish I knew more about the population that
>is producing them. Is it a "pure" colony (is this a local race?), or do the
>white specimens live sympatrically with the colored morph in northwestern
>Australia?
