(Figure 6 H–L)

Jujubinus hubrechti Poppe, Tagaro & Dekker, 2006: 88, pl. 38, fig. 2. Poppe & Tagaro, 2008b: 198, pl. 44, fig. 3. Vilvens 2012: 12, figs 35, 36. Type loc.: Balicasag Island, Philippines, 80–150 m; holotype in NMPM.? Calliostoma sp. 3587— Jay, 2014.

Distribution. Central Indo-West Pacific to the south-western Indian Ocean; off southern Mozambique and northern Zululand (Ponta Techobanine to Gipsy Hill); 50–110 m (no data for living specimens).

Notes. Described from the Philippines and recorded here for the first time in the western Indian Ocean. Rather variable in proportions and sculpture, and often with growth flaws where non-lethal damage has been repaired. Typical specimens have four spiral cords between the subsutural and peripheral keels, but others with coarser sculpture have only three. Some specimens also have a fine secondary spiral thread between the primary cords. As with many Cantharidinae the colour may vary from red/pink to green. A juvenile specimen from Réunion illustrated and identified as Calliostoma sp. by Jay (2014) may also be referable to this species. Jujubinus maldivensis (E.A. Smith, 1903) is similar, but has a double peripheral keel and attains a larger size.
