Oliva reticulata (Röding,
1798)
40mm
These appear to be variations of
Oliva reticulata. Shells up to at least 40mm were observed in the sand
at Pura Segara, Melasti and Batuniti.
These darker specimens appear to be the variety known as Oliva reticulata
azona.
From Pura Gerombong.
The next five photos are from Tianyar.
The next one was identified on
iNaturalist as the adspersa form of Oliva carneola. Animal
and shell look a bit more to me like O. reticulata but the exact ID
must remain uncertain.
