Sorry, I only know the two species Tonna dolium and Tonna perdix. Your specimen looks like Tonna perdix, I think. Perhaps we'll get some other opinions....... .

Cheers wolf any help is good  Smile

That would be "Dolium perdix", not "Dolium pendix", and that would be a synonym for Tonna perdix, as Wolf said.
