Attached you will see some individuals of a presumably Thracia species. My ID was Thracia myopsis Møller, 1842, however, I'm absolutely not sure and help is very welcome. The material is from the entrance of the Kattegat area (North Atlantic) from 70 m water depth.
Dear Micha, seems to be really similar to myopsis, but "babies" like these are often not so easily to be determined. In my opinion myopsis is not living there. So, please, check juvenile T. convexa (they are inhabiting the Kattegat). If you need it for a special project, I can try to have a look at our juvenile myopsis (we have a few) to compare them. You may contact me personally. Best regards - Vollrath
Vollrath Wiese and also Anders Waren gave the tip that the species seems to be Thracia convexa juvenile.
Thank you very much and Cheers
Michael
I think it's a young specimen of Thracia villosiuscula (Macgillivray, 1827).
Hi Roberto, indeed, it is still complicated to be sure. Unfortunately we did'nt found any adult specimens.
Best regards
Michael
