Mediterranean Trochidae
Hello, this is a Trochidae that I found in Malta, in a rocky beach. ¿Anybody knows the genus and the specie? If you need aditional information you can ask me.
Thanks.

Hi,
yes. Should be Monodonta (= Osilinus) articulata f. coarctata.
Kind regards: wolf

Re: Mediterranean Trochidae
Thanks Paul and Wolfi.

I was thinking that it was Monodonta, but I do not manage to distinguish between monodonta turbinata and articulata and aothers species.

Thanks,

Carlos.
