Details

Formerly regarded as one variable species, now regarded as a complex of species. But what is the urceus? Well Linnaeus saw 4 different species as his "Strombus urceus", C. labiatum, C. radians, C. mutabile and C. ustulatum (the black-mouthed urceus). So the black-mouthed urceus (also called C. ustulatum) is the true urceus. The species occurs from Thailand over the Philippines to Indonesia.
