Abstract

This paper highlights a putative inter-generic Conomurex x Gibberulus hybrid from the Sodwana Bay area, North Natal, Republic of South Africa. Putative hybridisation in the Strombidae is becoming ever more recognised at the intra-generic level. Much rarer are the intergeneric hybrids. The new putative hybrid indicates that inter-generic hybridisation may well be an evolutionary force in the radiation of Strombidae, facilitating both rapid reticulation and speciation.
