                    Diocris,
1. unknown

2. Engina concinna

3. Looks like an Orania, perhaps Orania walkeri

4. Engina sp., resembles Engina recurva

5. Tricolia sp., probably Tricolia fordiana
Hello Paul,
              Many thanks for your response, it helps me a lot and you gave me more info on where to find the references.
              and you are right to name the #2 engina concinna but e. concinnas location is in N. Caledonia, mine is from Philippines, is it possible to have them in different areas?

edit : June 30.  ooops... i just found out e. concinna is really found in the philippines.. excuse

              # 3 Orania,  i will accept that for now.. O.walkeri, i am not convince. i search Femorale photo gallery and it differs from mine.

              # 4 engina sp./ recurva.. mine is more look like a e.albocincta ( Femorale ).

              # 5 tricolia sp./ t. fordiana. i will accept it, even tho i didnt find any picture of it but at least i know now that is in the family of PHASIANELLIDAE.

              #1 turridae we both dont know the name, perhaps somebody else could name it, i will keep crossing my finger for someone else to name it.
 
    All in all (Paul )you just help me a lot to start labeling some of my collection. and im very very grateful for your great support Smile.

  ps.  can you also consider a cantharus on # 4 ?  c. fragaria (eddy hardy shell catalogue)

                  thanks
                      Diocris,
