New Cypraea species from Indian Ocean?


Felix Lorenz informed in his website on 25.03.2007 about a new possible species of Cypraea dredged at 400 m off Burma.
It seems a strange intermediate between C. hungerfordi and C. barclayi. It is a nice specimen.
Up to now, to my knowledge, it is the sole specimen collected of this possible new species.
But could it be an hybrid?
I should be happy to receive some comments on it.
