Lamprell & Whitehead indicate the range for F. sowerbyi to be from north Western Australia to Northern Territory. This leaves a lot of groung to cover to north Queensland - especially the Barrier Reef side. My specimens are from Broome & northWA(probably 80 Mile Beach) I find sowerbyi is easy to distinguish by the radial pink rays and more widely spaced & erect concentric ridges Geoff >From: Linda Bush <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Conchologists of America List <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Fimbria souverbii (Reeve, 1841) >Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2004 22:11:30 +0000 > >Hi, Everyone! > >Can anyone give me a more definite range for Fimbria souverbii (Reeve, >1841) other than S.W.
