Jewelry high jewelry S. nucleus is sometimes described in literature as being uniformly yellowish-brown. Freshly collected specimens, however, have a contrasting dual color combination: a light yellowish-brown base and a khaki-brown dorsum; specimens from Fiji have a rather dark dorsal color. This species will on many occasion deviate from its "typical" cylindrical shape and inflated structure, by being either broadly ovate or cylindrically elongate, and with either a humped or partially depressed dorsum. The purplish S. nucleus has some analogy with S. granulata cassiaui (Burgess, 1965) from the Marquesas, Starbuck & Flint Islands (C. cassiaui Burgess, 1965, Nautilus, 79 (2): 38-40, plt. 4). These purplish variants may be effected in a similar manner as melanistic specimens of cowries from various geographical regions. Color characteristics in Cypraeidae, even if of a constant nature and confined to a certain portion of the shell, do not necessarily indicate a new biological species. A population of Erosaria helvola (Linnaeus) from Nukuhiva, Marquesas, shows such a constant color-character: the extremities are pure white instead of the usual shade of violet (10 specimens seen, leg. D. Boust, 1966). Jewelry high jewelry
