Pls find the above JPEG image of an olive that I could
not identify.
Locality data is poor. I bought these 2 specimens from
a shop in Langkawi Island, Malaysia. Size
59mm/62mm. I have identified as a possible Oliva
lignaria form fordi Johnson
1910 (Compendium
of Shells).
The Conch-L list agrees this is probably O. miniacea f. marrati Johnson, 1910.
The specimens could be from anywhere Malaysia/Indonesia
or Phillipines.
I would be grateful if u could post these on the image
site.
Thanks & rgds,
