Hello @ll,

I scuba this morning (France, Mediterranean sea) and found
a black miter in 19m deep. Does someone knows what species it belongs to ?

It appears to be Mitra nigra (Gmelin, 1791). The shape of the shell would indicate that it is a male. The females of this species are more slender.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2007-07-16 04:01:56 --</span>
