Buccinidae? - conchylinet - 09-16-2011

Hello again
This small gastropod seems to be a Buccinidae but I can not determine the specie (maybe genus Pisania). It is very small 10 mm and come from Mauritius.

I think it is Metanachis marquesa (Gaskoin,J.S., 1851) in COLLUMBELLIDAE ATILIINAE family

Cheers,
Diocris.
