This species was first collected by Mrs. Iris Cohen of Fish Hoek, South Africa in 1964. Both of her specimens were
beach-collected. The holotype (Bishop Museum, Honolulu, No. B.B.M. 8911) is well preserved and fresh appearing.
The specimen illustrated above was collected by Mr. Lynn K. Kapp of Pinelands Cape, South Africa, in April, 1966, on the
beach in Jeffreys Bay, South Africa. This specimen is unmistakably C. cohenae, but differs from the others collected in that
the columellar aperture bears tiny widely spaced teeth. It should be noted that considerable variation in dentition is found
in many South African cowries. Cypraea cohenae may be distinguished easily from the two cowries that it most closely
resembles Cypraea edentula Gray and Cypraea amphithales Melvill. Cypraea cohenae has strong, deeply cut, brown stained labial
teeth; C. edentula seldom has even faint crenulations on its lip. Cypraea amphithales has fine closely spaced teeth on the
columella and base; C. cohenae occasionally has widely-spaced small teeth limited to the aperture.

*Cypraea helvola Linnaeus Tubuai: 1 worn, dead specimen on beach near Mataura. Rimatara: 1 dead but fairly fresh specimen
from beach.
Cypraea caputserpentis L. Found on all four islands visited: Raevavae, Tubuai, Rurutu, Rimatara; fairly common on reefs.
*Cypraea poraria L. Rimatara: 1 dead specimen on beach.
*Cypraea erosa L. Rurutu: 1 dead specimen near Moerai.
Cypraea obvelata Lam. Common on reefs on Tubuai and Rurutu. The Tubuai specimens, collected among rubble on the lagoon side
of Motu Moturoa on the eastern side of the barrier reef, were all of the typical form. The two lots gathered on Rurutu on the
fringing reef near the village of Moerai represent an ecotype with a reduced callus or torus around the dorsal area,
resembling therein annulus but lacking the typical blunt carination of the sides found in Polynesian specimens of the latter
species.
Cypraea moneta L. Found on Raevavae, Tubuai and Rurutu; undoubtedly present on all islands.
Cypraea isabella L. Raevavae: 1 dead on beach. Rimatara: 3 dead shells.
*Cypraea scurra Gmelin Rurutu: dead shell. Tubuai-- 1 fragment. Rimatara: 2 dead specimens.
Cypraea maculifera Schilder Raevavae; 1 dead shell, 1 on reef flat at Motu Veiamanu, on barrier reef south of Raevavae.
Rurutu: 3 specimens from reefs, vicinity of Moerai. Rimatara: 1 dead shell from beach. Maria: 1 specimen from reef.
*Cypraea depressa Gray Tubuai: 1 dead shell from beach near Mataura.
Cypraea (Lyncina) vitellus L. Tubuai: 1 specimen collected at night in lagoon off south end of Motu Moturoa.
*Cypraea (Lyncina) leviathan Schilder & Schilder Raevavae: 1 dead specimen from beach, 78.25 mm in length.
Cypraea (Lyncina) ventriculus Lam. Raevavae: 1 dead shell from beach.
*Cypraea (Lyncina) schilderorum (Iredale) Dead shells were not rare Raevavae, Tubuai and Rimatara.
