Unknown shell - help wanted

RE: Unknown shell - help wanted
Hello Paul,
Thanks a lot. I made a comparance with other pictures and its very much alike. The old collection has more shells from southern australia, so this is also fitting.
The only Cominella which is a possibility is Cominella eburnea from New South Wales, but this has red blotches (mostly) and the grooves are less deep.
I overlooked the Cominella genus, because its now placed in the familiy buccinulidae, previous a subfamily of buccinidae.
Thanks, you helped a lot.
Jan
