Penion cuvierianus is a species of very large predatory sea snail or whelk, commonly called the flaring penion, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Austrosiphonidae. [1]

Description

Penion cuvierianus is a very large species of siphon whelk. [2] [3] Shells vary between ivory and yellow in colouration. [3]

Recent genetic and geometric morphometric research using shell shape and size has demonstrated that a formerly recognised subspecies Penion cuvierianus jeakingsi is closely related to Penion ormesi, instead of Penion curierianus, and the taxon has been synonymised with P. ormesi. [4]

Distribution

Penion cuvierianus is endemic to New Zealand. [2] [3] The taxonomic name is a reference to the type locality of Cuvier Island. [2] The species has an abundant fossil record in the North Island of New Zealand. [5]

The species occurs in the subtidal zone between depths of 20 and 200 metres. [3]

Subspecies

These subspecies have been recognised:
