Help ID Oliva shells

[mikede]

Hello,

I need help identifying these 5 Oliva shells. The shells come from the Philippines. The largest of the 5 shells is around 6cm long.

Hi Mike,
Nos. 1, 4 and 5 are Oliva vidua, No. 2 is O.tricolor. No. 3 I am not sure of, it could be a form of O. bulbiformis or even another vidua.

No problem, Olividae is one of my specialities.
