Description (in parentheses data of the lectotype)

SHELL. Shell of large size for the genus, height 5.9–12.6 (10.2) mm, width 4.7–7.3 (6.7) mm, height/ width ratio 1.25–1.86, conical, robust. Protoconch seemingly smooth, of ca 1 whorl, 0.21–0.22 mm in width. Teleoconch of 6–7 (6) slightly convex whorls. Sculpture of 3–5 (3) minutely granulose little closely set abapical spiral cords with wide interspaces of about the same strength, and peripheral cord evident formed by 1–5 (4) merged cordlets. Interspaces wide with strong prosocline lamellae. Suture incised. Base convex, with 6–9 concentric reddish or brown spiral cords white dotted and regularly spaced, umbilicus closed also in juveniles, covered with a white callus. Aperture quadrangular, with the columellar callus thickened in the middle portion. Interior of the aperture whitish, nacreous.

COLOURATION. Colour of protoconch and initial teleoconch whorls reddish-greyish; remaining whorls and base white or whitish background with reddish brown to dark-brown or black prosocline or opisthocline lines or blotches of varying size irregularly arranged.

SOFT PARTS. Epipodial tentacles grayish with a whitish stripe, covered by scattered very tiny whitish speckles. Foot background brownish or reddish mottled with longitudinal brown or red stripes and covered by white speckles; sole whitish or creamy. Cephalic tentacles grayish, with two dorsal darker stripes and covered by small light whitish speckles. Eye stalks brownish dorsally, whitish ventrally, covered by brown speckles; eyes black encircled by lighter crown, sometimes white ventrally. Snout brownish to reddish with a creamy terminal band.

Distribution

In the Atlantic it is known with certainty only from Morocco, and Algarve (Portugal). In almost the entire Mediterranean Sea (e.g., Barash & Danin 1992: 34–35, fig. 31a; Portalatina 2008). Almost all records under Jujubinus exasperatus, living specimens at dephts from 1 to 35 m, rarely down to 60 m.

Remarks

Records in the Atlantic from Scotland and the southernmost British Isles (Poppe & Goto 1991) to Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands (Bucquoy et al. 1882; Nordsieck 1968) are probably based on misidentifications. This is the commonest species of the genus in the Mediterranean Sea, very variable morphologically and chromatically. The name Jujubinus exasperatus has been largely employed for it, but Trochus exasperatus Pennant, 1777 was based on a different species (SSH II, see below). Therefore, many literature records of ‘ Jujubinus exasperatus ’ cannot be unequivocally ascribed to either species. Trochus vulgaris Risso, 1826 is the first available name for this species. Trochus matonii Payraudeau, 1827 is also this same species, and is the type of the genus Jujubinus: the type material (now lost) from Corsica was described as “maculis longitudinalibus angulosis albis et fuscis, aut albis et rubris picta” (Payraudeau 1827: 126– 127), clearly referring to two of the most common chromatic forms, with angular longitudinal blotches coloured in either dark and white, or red and white. For the date of publication of Payraudeau’s “ Catalogue descriptif ...” we refer to Falkner et al. (2002). The two figured specimens of Trochus monterosatoi (Bucquoy, Dautzenberg & Dollfus, 1884: pl. xliii figs 18–19) are clearly J. vulgaris, and the very B.D.D. put in the synonymy of their taxon also Trochus exasperatus var. excavata Monterosato, 1880. Jujubinus unidentatus (Philippi, 1844) and Jujubinus africanus Nordsieck, 1973 were based on a particular morphotype from Tunisia with light shell, ivory-whitish background with dark-brown to brown-reddish prosocline elongated flames, 5–8 weakly to minutely granulose spiral cords of varying size, base with 7–10 spiral cords with brown-reddish lines, and a very strong notch on the columella. The animal of this form has the same general chromatic pattern as the typical one but is homogeneously lighter and much fainter. The morphotype ‘ unidentatus attains a height of 7.8–10.1 mm, width 4.7–6.2 (ratio 1.42–1.86). See under J. exasperatus and J. pseudogravinae, for comparative remarks.
