Palmulacypraea katsuae, musumea and boucheti

---

There have been many questions regarding katsuae, musumea, boucheti (the species formerly known as lacrimula), and the mysterious omii.
Although G3 answers all of them, here are some additional pictures:



1-2: musumea from Noumea, New Caledonia, with white teeth and sparse spots. Such slender shaped shells were recently named omii Ikeda, but seem to be a variety only.
2-4: boucheti, also from Noumea , specimen with faint brown staining of the teeth
5-6: boucheti from Taiwan, specimen with rich colours and brown stained teeth
7-8: boucheti from Hainan, China. Fantastic dark specimen
