Dear all,
Ross Mayhew has just placed an image of a cowrie of mine
on Conch-l images. It belongs to the subgenus Pustularia (Chick-Pea
Cowries).
I received it under the name of "Cypraea bistrinotata mediocris", but
comparing the
specimen to photographs of true C. b. mediocris, It does not look like
it. However,
I cannot figure out what it is. I would be grateful if some of you cowrie
experts out
there could take a look at it for me. You can see it here:

Thanks,
James

Note: Though it is somewhat hard to see it in the image, the shell has
moderately-developed
pustules on both sides of the dorsum.
