Mystery Volute?
Abbott shows Sigaluta pratasensis, in the Volutidae section. However, I believe this genus has been reassigned to Marginellidae. Does your shell look like that illustration? The genus Saotomea is quite different. It looks like a miniature Fulgoraria. I have Saotomea delicata, but have never heard of Saotomea pratasensis. In fact I have never heard of any species of Saotomea other than delicata. Is it recently described?
