I would say 4 and 5 are N. plicata, #4 seems to be a deformed, distorted specimen. Better apertural views would confirm identification, and again locality would be of great help.

1. Heliacus sp., probably Heliacus variegatus
2. Probably one of the forms of Phalium (Casmaria) bisulcatum, perhaps the form persimilis. Locality would be helpful.
3. Nassarius arcularius, immature
4. Nerita plicata.
5. Nerita sp. Superficially resembles #4, but it isn't the same species. Appears to be an immature specimen of some other Nerita species.
6. Thais sp. Â Resembles Thais haemastoma floridana, but it's rather worn and there are a couple of other species similar in shape.
7. Apparently Thaidinae, but can't name it.
