According to its smallness and northern habitat, this shell should be classified as subspecies beddomei Schilder, as the
usual length (i.e. that of two-thirds of specimens approaching the mean) of northern shells ranges from 56 to 73 mm only,
while that of typical hesitata (including howelli Iredale) from the Bass Strait area to Montagu Island usually varies from 76
to 100 mm, the mean being 66 and 91 mm respectively.
