Looking for miters id - david touitou - 07-15-2007 Hello @ll, I scuba this morning (France, Mediterranean sea) and found a black miter in 19m deep. Does someone knows what species it belongs to ? <a href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/817304" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/817304">http://www.badongo.com/pic/817304</a><!-- m --></a> <a href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/817305" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.badongo.com/pic/817305">http://www.badongo.com/pic/817305</a><!-- m --></a> Bye DAVID Looking for miters id - paul monfils - 07-15-2007 It appears to be Mitra nigra (Gmelin, 1791). The shape of the shell would indicate that it is a male. The females of this species are more slender.  <span class="petit">--Last edited by Paul Monfils on 2007-07-16 04:01:56 --</span> Looking for miters id - david touitou - 07-19-2007 Thanks Paul for your help   <img src="images/smiley/up.gif" alt="" border="0" /> And thanks for the help you provide on the forum !!  <img src="images/smiley/love.gif" alt="" border="0" /> David
