Terebra paucistriata (Smith, 1873)

Si T. paucistriata ressemble à T. kilburni & T. undulata, elle en diffère par sa couleur qui peut aller du pourpre au violet ( surtout quand elles sont pêchées vivantes ) en passant par une coloration jaune clair aux Tuamotu.

Elle possède contrairement à T. kilburni & T.undulata une bande spirale blanche sur le dernier tour et la bande blanche sous suturale est doublée.

Taille du spécimen illustré : 25mm

Even if T. paucistriata looks like T. kilburni & T. undulata, it is different by its' color which can be purple to violine (especially when live collected) and light yellow in the Tuamotu's Atolls.

It has, contrarily to T. kilburni & T.undulata, a white spiral band on the last whorl and the subsutural one is doubled.

Size of the displayed specimen : 25mm
