In older books it may be listed as Pterynotus alatus. #1 is going to take a little thought. It looks rather immature. What is the size of this specimen? Do you know where it was collected? Can you possibly provide a better picture?  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2007-06-19 23:28:31 --</span> i can't name these murex, pls help.. - rafael picardal - 06-21-2007 hi paul,  tnx for the help, o thought that was a pterynotus laurae.. and the other specimen, unfortunately i gave it already to my friend.. i can't provide you another picture.. raffy=)
