Barycypraea teulerei, common name Teulere's cowry, is a species of sea snail, a cowry, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Cypraeidae, the cowries.^[1]

Description[edit]

The shells of this uncommon species of cowries (at one time it was considered very rare) reach on average 40–48 millimetres (1.6–1.9 in) in length, with a minimum size of 33 millimetres (1.3 in) and a maximum size of 67 millimetres (2.6 in). They are highly variable in pattern. The dorsum surface is not particularly smooth and shiny as is commonly the case in cowries. The basic color is light beige or cream, with irregular dark brown patches on the top and many light brown spots on the sides. The calloused margins are whitish, while the base is white, with a large sinuous aperture with only traces of labial teeth. Barycypraea teulerei is externally similar to Barycypraea fultoni and Muracypraea mus.

Distribution[edit]

This species occurs only in the Arabian Sea along the mainland coast of Oman, and on Masirah Island.

Habitat[edit]

These cowries live in intertidal shallow waters, mainly on coral reef but also on sandy and muddy sea bed.

-''Bernaya teulerei'' and ''Bernaya fultoni'' are the only two species of the genus Bernaya, belonging to the 'archaic' subfamily Bernaynae. They are considered relics or "living fossils", with numerous rather similar species from the Oligocene.
 ==Description==
-The shells of these uncommon cowries (one time considered very rare) reach on average {{convert|40|-|48|mm}} of length, with a minimum size of {{convert|33|mm}} and a maximum size of {{convert|67|mm}}. They are highly variable in pattern. The dorsum surface is not particularly smooth and shiny as commonly occurs in cowries, the basic color is light beige or cream, with irregular dark brown patches on the top and many light brown spots on the sides. The calloused margins are whitish, while the base is white, with a large sinuous aperture with only traces of labial teeth. ''Bernaya teulerei'' is externally similar to ''[[Bernaya fultoni]]'' and ''[[Muracypraea mus]]''.
