The first one is Zierliana woldemarii. The other is a puzzle for the moment.

I don't think this is Mitra litterata. It doesn't have the typical form of a Strigatella. On the other hand, it does appear to be an immature specimen with a thin lip, so perhaps. I was wondering if it might be a small juvenile of a larger species ... Mitra cardinalis? ... or ...?

Hello Paul,
       i have here a juvenile m. cardinalis for comparison to my specie.
your opinion please.

Re: know this mitridae ? - paul monfils - 07-12-2011
Hmmmm ... similar, but not a match in my opinion.
Re: know this mitridae ? - diocrisseashells1000 - 07-12-2011
ok, m. cardinalis is out, im out of option on what specie this might be, any suggestion ?
thanks,

I would go with subadult litterata.
Re: know this mitridae ? - diocrisseashells1000 - 07-13-2011
Hello Dave,
i dont know if it is sub adult, cause here in the Philippines the m. literatta are rather small.
here are some comparison :

i dont know the size of m. literatta in other locality, that is why i did not consider it as m.literatta at first. can this be possible that in other area the sizes might get differ ?
