Hi all- Putting aside any opinions on whether this shell is D. boholensis or S. (D.) kleckhamae boholensis I am interested to know if anyone is aware of any records of it outside the Philippines, particularly in areas which would make it sympatric with the true kleckhamae kleckhamae. I have a specimen purported to be from the Solomon Islands. The data is very precise and I obtained it from a well-known SCUBA diver. I questioned him about the data but he insisted that he had self-collected the shell half- buried in silt on a slope 55m deep, etc etc. The shell measures 74.4mm but is otherwise indistinguishable from Philippines specimens (current world size record is 72.0). Photos I have seen of kleckhamae kleckhamae, and a specimen I have from PNG, are quite different. The information I have seen states that D. boholensis is endemic to the Philippines. Is anyone else aware of any similar reports? Assistance would be appreciated.
