Ficus ficus

Description

Ficus ficus (Linnaeus, 1758)

(Fig. 2I)

Murex ficus Linnaeus, 1758: 752 (type locality not stated).

Ficus subintermedia – Abbott & Dance, 1990: 117, unnumbered text fig. (not Pyrula subintermedia d’Orbigny, 1852); Okutani, 2000d: 279, pl. 138 fig. 1 (not Pyrula subintermedia d’Orbigny, 1852).

Ficus ficus – Dharma, 2005: 192, 358, pl. 71 fig. 15a, b, pl. 144 fig. 4a, b.

Material examined. SJADES 2018: 2 dd (SL 30.9, 34.0 mm), stn. CP37, 163– 166 m; 1 dd (SL 52.1 mm), stn. CP47, 476– 530 m.

Remarks. Only a few empty shells of this shallow-water species were collected. Living populations are probably restricted to much shallower depths, as a range of 10–50 m is noted for this species in Okutani (2000d). Recent Indonesian specimens from Seribu Islands and Haruku Island, as well as fossils from Bojong, West Java, are figured in Dharma (2005).
