These specimens collected from east coast of India ? help me for idntification.
The first is a Terebridae the second is an Epitonium. Late I hope to give you the name of the species. Roberto-
Image011 e image012 is a Pyramidellidae a Turbonilla sp.
The second is an Epidendrium I send you a publication about Epitonium.
I hope to have more precise classifications, later. Roberto.
The Turbonilla sp. is very similar to Turbonilla juliae Penas & Rolan, 2010. Roberto.
Dear Dr Roberto,
does not Epidendrium sp. have pointed apex? In that case, can this be a juvenile?
Yes I think it could be also a young specimen of Epitonium eclecticum (Melvill & Standen, 1903) but is wrong. I send you a pdf.
