Hello Diocris,

Good day! This shells belongs to TURBINOIDEA under LIOTIIDAE, this one is not in Trochidae  Wink

This small shell could be a Liotinaria  scalaroides (Reeve, 1843)..  Smile

Cheers,
Raffy

Hello Raffy,
Many thanks for family correction and in identifying the specie. i thought it was in trochidae that is why i cannot find it, i was looking at the wrong family.

thanks again,
Diocris.
