Unknown species Mexico - wolfi - 03-03-2012 Hi, perhaps you can help me to determine the following specimen, found at the northern coast of the Isla Holbox, Quintana Roo, Mexico, dead at the beach (height 15 mm). Thanks for your help : wolf Re: Unknown species Mexico - diocrisseashells1000 - 03-03-2012 Hello Wolfi, I think that is an Epitoniidae specie (maybe Opaliopsis sp. ?) but i am not sure. Diocris Re: Unknown species Mexico - wolfi - 03-03-2012 Thanks, diocris, I just thought of Opaliopsis opalina (Dall, 1927). Shape, sculpture, size and distribution/region might fit. Could that be right? Thanks again: wolf |
