Phil,
According to Ponder, Xenophora lamberti (Sowerby, 1871) is a valid
species. It is from New Caledonia and the Loyalty Islands. However, it
does seem to be a tough one to get. It is also one of the few
xenophoras I am missing. Everytime I see an offering from New Caledonia
I look at the end of the shell list to see if one is there -- but
nothing for the last few years. Good luck, and if you find some, let me
know (I'll do the same for you).
