The first one is Zierliana woldemarii.  The other is a puzzle for the moment.

I don't think this is Mitra litterata.  It doesn't have the typical form of a Strigatella.  On the other hand, it does appear to be an immature specimen with a thin lip, so perhaps.  I was wondering if it might be a small juvenile of a larger species ... Mitra cardinalis? ... or ...?

Hello Paul,
              i have here a juvenile m. cardinalis for comparison to my specie.
your opinion please.

Hmmmm ... similar, but not a match in my opinion.

[diocrisseashells1000]

ok, m. cardinalis is out, im out of option on what specie this might be, any suggestion ?

thanks,

I would go with subadult litterata.

[diocrisseashells1000]

Hello Dave,
i dont know if it is sub adult, cause here in the Philippines the m. literatta are rather small.
here are some comparison :

i dont know the size of m. literatta in other locality, that is why i did not consider it as m.literatta at first. can this be possible that in other area the sizes might get differ ?
