[A101N61] Naquetia vokesae (Houart, 1986)

Naquetia vokesae is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.

NOTE: N. triqueter (Born, 1778) is difficult to separate from N. vokesae expect by using its conical protoconch morphology consisting of 3.5 whorls, ending with a sinusigera terminal lip attesting to a planktotrophic larval development, compared to a lecithotrophic, rounded and paucispiral protoconch of 1.5 to 2 whorls in N. vokesae. N. vokesae primarily occurs in the western India Ocean. The Philippine Islands is a noteworthy range extension.
