This species was previously stated as a synonym, subspecies or form of Haliotis varia Linnaeus, 1758 [3]

Description

The size of the shell varies between 30 mm and 50 mm. "The ovate shell is rather convex, radiately plicately wrinkled and spirally ridged. The ridges are obtusely scaled. The six open perforations are rather approximated. The exterior surface is rusty orange, spirally streaked with white. Besides the peculiarity of its sculpture, it is very fairly characterized by its rusty orange painting and silvery interior." [4]

This marine species occurs in the littoral zone of Lord Howe Island, from the intertidal zone down to about 10 meters depth. [1]
